Professional Opinion
The one to reach for when hand fatigue is the enemy. Weight comes out of this VG-10 cutter while the classic handle keeps the grip familiar, so long back-to-back columns take less toll on the hand and forearm.
Maintenance Tips
- Wipe blades after each client
- Oil the pivot as the maker directs
- Use a sharpener experienced with Japanese convex edges
