Where this sits
In Koi's cutting scissors lineup the Koi Extreme occupies the entry-level tier, priced between the Koi Elegance and the Koi Leap.
The Extreme sits above the Elegance in Koi’s cutting range, using the same 440C Japanese forged steel with a single bend offset handle for a more pronounced thumb drop. The hollow ground convex blade suits precision work including point cutting and slide cutting.
Three sizes — 5.0”, 5.5”, and 6.0” — cover the most common professional preferences. A zip case ships with each pair.
The single bend offset geometry is a step up in ergonomic positioning from a classic even handle, without the more aggressive angle of a fully cranked design.

Professional Opinion
The single bend offset gives a more pronounced thumb drop than a straight handle without going fully cranked, a comfortable middle ground for long days. With a hollow ground convex edge in 440C forged steel, it is well suited to point cutting and precision work.
Maintenance Tips
- Wipe blades after each client
- Oil the pivot point regularly
