Professional Opinion

Thirty teeth on a 6.0 inch SUS440C blade handle everyday blending and weight removal, with the offset handle keeping the grip relaxed. Worth pairing with a cutting scissor from the same cherry-blossom line.

Maintenance Tips

  • Wipe blades after each client
  • Oil the pivot as the maker directs
  • Use a sharpener experienced with Japanese convex edges
