Description
Semi-offset cutting scissors from Koi in 440C Japanese forged steel. Convex blade with anti-slip decoration pattern. Available in 5.5".
Where this sits
In Koi's cutting scissors lineup the Koi Leap occupies the mid-range tier, priced between the Koi Rainbow Titanium and the Koi Bling. Manufactured in .
The Leap uses a semi-offset handle — thumb ring sits lower than a classic even handle but less pronounced than a full offset. This geometry suits stylists who find a straight handle limiting but are not yet committed to a fully offset design.
Built from 440C Japanese forged steel with a convex blade. An anti-slip decoration pattern runs along the handle shank. Available as a single size at 5.5”.
Positioned in Koi’s mid-to-upper tier, the Leap bridges the gap between the budget-accessible Elegance and the brand’s higher-end offerings.
