Description
The Outlaw is Masuta's broad-blade slicing scissor. The wider blade profile is built for slide cutting and slicing techniques that draw the scissor along the hair shaft. Japanese steel, offset handle, convex edge, 6.0".
Where this sits
In Masuta's cutting scissors lineup the Masuta The Outlaw occupies the mid-range tier, priced below the Masuta The Creator. Manufactured in Australia.
The Outlaw is the slicing specialist in the Masuta range. Its broad blade is shaped for techniques where the scissor moves along the hair shaft rather than closing straight across it — slide cutting, slicing, and channel cutting among them.
Construction
OBU builds The Outlaw from Masuta Japanese steel with a convex edge and an offset handle. The 6.0” length and broader blade face give more surface contact with the hair shaft during a slide-cutting stroke, which is what this blade geometry is designed for.
Technique fit
Slide cutting and slicing rely on blade travel as much as blade closure. A longer, broader blade maintains contact with the hair section through the draw stroke and produces softer, more tapered ends than a blunt cross-cut. Dry cutting stylists often favour this profile because the blade’s movement through dry hair is easier to judge visually than in wet work.
