The Slide 55 is a 5.5 inch hand-forged scissor from Jyo-Utopia, made at the Utsumi factory in Japan. The slim blade profile is built around slide cutting: the narrower geometry reduces hair resistance during slicing strokes. Offset handle and convex edge are standard across the Jyo-Utopia range.

Professional Opinion
The slim blade is the point here: narrower geometry means less resistance on slicing strokes, so slide cutting feels smooth rather than grabby. A 5.5-inch offset build, hand-forged from Japanese stainless steel.
Maintenance Tips
- Wipe blades after each client
- Oil the pivot point regularly
- Professional sharpening when edge dulls
- Store in protective case
