Where this sits
In Kennomai's cutting scissors lineup the Kennomai YHC-60 Slide Cut Scissors occupies the premium tier, priced below the Kennomai YM Cutting Scissors. Manufactured in Japan.
The Kennomai YHC-60 is a 6.0” slide-cut scissor manufactured in Tokyo. The YHC prefix in Kennomai’s naming convention identifies it as a slide-cut optimised model within the offset handle family. Slide cutting requires the blade to glide along the hair shaft rather than close straight across it, so blade geometry and edge finish are tuned for consistent contact through the slicing stroke.
At 6.0”, the YHC-60 gives enough blade length to cover a broad section in a single pass while maintaining the control needed for effilating and point work. Steel grade is not published on the brand’s official site. For current pricing and availability, visit Kennomai’s online store or the Kennomai brand page on ScissorPedia.

Professional Opinion
Slide cutting asks a blade to glide along the hair rather than chop across it, and the YHC-60 is built specifically for that stroke. At 6.0 inches it covers a broad section in one pass while staying controllable for point work. Made in Tokyo for stylists who slice and effilate daily.
Maintenance Tips
- Wipe blades after each client
- Oil the pivot point regularly
- Professional sharpening when edge dulls
- Store in protective case
