Professional Opinion
The Blacksmith Fit built as a true left-handed scissor, with mirrored blade geometry so the blades meet the way a left-handed cut demands. Cobalt alloy at 58 to 60 HRC and a convex edge carry the Fit's cutting feel, in 5.5 and 6.0 inch sizes.
Maintenance Tips
- Wipe blades after each client
- Oil pivot daily
- Use only a sharpener experienced with Mizutani convex edges
- Mizutani recommends authorized service for warranty coverage
