The mid-range all-rounder in the Kamisori catalog. Offset handle, convex 440C blade hardened to HRC 59, three sizes from 5.0 to 6.0 inches, and no surprises, which is exactly what a busy stylist wants from a daily driver. Reliable 440C performance is the whole point here.
Maintenance Tips
- Wipe blades after each client
- Oil the pivot as the maker directs
- Use a sharpener experienced with Japanese convex edges
