Where this sits
In Kiepe's thinning scissors lineup the Kiepe Academy Thinning Scissors occupies the budget tier, priced below the Kiepe Monster Cut Blending Scissors. Manufactured in Italy.
The Kiepe Academy Thinning (model 2119) is the thinning scissors counterpart to Kiepe’s Academy cutting range. Designed for student use, it introduces thinning and blending technique without the cost of a mid-range thinner.
Built to the same specification as the Academy cutting scissors — Italian stainless steel, classic even handle, 6.0” length — the Academy Thinning pairs naturally with the Kiepe Academy cutting scissors as a student set. Tooth count is not published by the brand; visit Kiepe directly for the full specification.
For current pricing and stock, see the Kiepe brand page on ScissorPedia.

Professional Opinion
The Academy thinner is Kiepe's training-line blending tool, built to the same spec as the Academy cutter so the two feel consistent in the hand. At this price it makes sense for students and trainees learning thinning technique, or as a first thinner before moving up the range.
Maintenance Tips
- Wipe blades after each client
- Oil the pivot point regularly
- Professional sharpening when edge dulls
- Store in protective case
