Where this sits
In Mork's cutting scissors lineup the Mork Hi PRO Cobalt Cutting Scissors occupies the mid-range tier, priced between the Mork SUS PRO Cutting Scissors and the Mork BW Powder Metal Cutting Scissors. Manufactured in Japan.
The Mork Hi PRO is built at the Kawashima Scissors Factory in Ono City, Hyogo — a forging hub with deep roots in Japanese scissor craft. Cobalt steel gives the blade edge durability and a keen cutting feel suited to daily professional use.
The contactless double-bearing screw tension system reduces blade friction across the cut stroke and keeps tension consistent without hand-tightening between clients. The offset handle positions the thumb lower than the fingers, reducing wrist rotation through repetitive cutting sequences.
Four blade lengths — 5.5”, 6.0”, 6.5”, and 7.0” — cover the range from detail work to longer graduation cuts. For current pricing and stock, see Hayashi Hasami or the Mork brand page on ScissorPedia.

Professional Opinion
Cobalt steel and a convex edge make this an all-round salon tool, with slide cutting called out among its strengths. The double-bearing tension system keeps blade pressure consistent without adjustment between clients, and four lengths from 5.5 to 7.0 inch cover detail work through longer graduation cuts.
Maintenance Tips
- Wipe blades after each client
- Oil the pivot point regularly
- Professional sharpening when edge dulls
