Professional Opinion
Pick this one if the crane grip is the whole point. The crane handle drops the thumb side further than a standard offset, and the VG-10 convex blade takes on salon work in three sizes.
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
Why choose a crane handle?
A crane handle drops the thumb position significantly lower than even an offset design. Choose it if you prefer that handle shape.
