Where this sits
In Kennomai's cutting scissors lineup the Kennomai YS Cutting Scissors occupies the premium band, priced above the Kennomai YHC-60 Slide Cut Scissors. Manufactured in Japan.
The Kennomai YS series is the standard cutting line from Kennomai, a Tokyo-based scissor manufacturer operating under parent company 有限会社マンドール. Four blade lengths cover the working range from 5.5” through to 7.0” (YS-55, YS-60, YS-65, YS-070), all on a shared offset handle geometry with convex blades.
The YS prefix identifies the standard offset design within Kennomai’s model naming system. Choosing between lengths depends on technique and hand size: shorter blades suit precision and interior cutting, while the 7.0” length works for slide cutting and bulk removal on longer hair. Steel grade and confirmed pricing are available at Kennomai’s online store or through the Kennomai brand page on ScissorPedia.

Professional Opinion
Four lengths from 5.5 to 7.0 inch on one shared offset handle: the YS series is built for stylists who want every size to feel identical in the hand. Convex blades cover general salon cutting across hair types. Tokyo-made, with the short blades for precision and the 7.0 for slide work.
