Professional Opinion
The crane handle is the whole point here. It keeps your elbow down and your shoulder relaxed through a long column of cuts, and the extended handle gives larger hands proper room. Four sizes from 5.25 to 6.75 inches, ATS-314 steel, and a convex edge cover most salon cutting work.
