Professional Opinion
The black PVD coating is allergy-neutral, which matters if nickel irritates your hands or your clients'. Inside sits VG-10 at 60-62 HRC with a convex edge suited to slide cutting, plenty of scissor for the price.
Maintenance Tips
- Wipe blades after each client
- Oil the pivot as the maker directs
- Use a sharpener experienced with Japanese convex edges
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Juntetsu Night compare to the VG10 Offset?
Both use Takefu VG-10 steel at 60-62 HRC. The Night has a black PVD coating and is available in slightly different sizes (5.25, 5.75, 6.75 vs the Offset's full range). The Night is priced lower, making it a good entry into Juntetsu's VG-10 lineup.
What is the black coating made of and does it wear off?
The Night carries over 50 layers of premium allergy-neutral black coating applied via Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) or electroplating. PVD forms a metallurgically bonded surface rather than a painted layer, so it resists chipping and wear through years of daily salon use. The coating is specifically formulated to be allergy-neutral for client skin contact.
Is VG-10 at 60-62 HRC worth the price step up from 440C?
Juntetsu lists this pair at 60-62 HRC in Takefu VG-10. The steel name alone doesn't tell you it will stay sharp longer than a 440C pair; what you pay for is this pair's hardness, convex edge and finish. Try it against the 440C pair you are considering and choose the one that cuts better for you.
