The Kimari 6.3 FBT is a 6.3-inch cutting scissor from the Kimari line by Takano Canada, priced at CAD US$515 direct from takanocanada.com. The FBT handle places the underside of the thumb ring flush rather than angled, which shifts grip ergonomics compared to a standard offset.

Professional Opinion
Cobalt alloy blades with a convex edge are a well-proven pairing for smooth cutting through sections. What sets the FBT apart is the flat-bottom thumb ring. Worth trying in hand if a standard offset ring has ever felt tippy, since the flush underside changes how the grip settles.
Maintenance Tips
- Wipe blades clean after each client
- Oil the pivot point regularly
- Professional sharpening when edge dulls
- Store in a protective case
