Professional Opinion
A symmetric handle lets you flip the shear and work from either hand position, which opens up vertical and horizontal motion when you switch techniques mid-haircut. The Akita runs from 5.0 all the way to 7.0 inch, so it covers detail work and longer barbering lengths in one family. ATS-314 steel with a convex edge, around $647.
