Description
Offset cutting scissors from Koi, forged in 440C Japanese steel. Available in four sizes, hollow ground convex blade, with removable finger rest.
Where this sits
In Koi's cutting scissors lineup the Koi Elegance occupies the entry-level tier, priced below the Koi Extreme. Manufactured in .
The Elegance is Koi’s entry point into 440C Japanese forged steel, spanning 4.5” through 6.0” to suit a wide range of hand sizes and cutting styles. The hollow ground convex blade holds a clean edge and suits standard scissor-over-comb and blunt cutting work.
Handle geometry is offset with a removable finger rest. The offset position reduces thumb elevation during cutting, which can ease strain over a full day on the floor.
At this price point the Elegance is positioned as an all-round professional shear for stylists who want forged Japanese steel without the premium outlay of higher-tier models.
