Professional Opinion

Thirty-one teeth on a 5.8 inch thinner puts this in everyday blending territory, and the miniature bearing gives the opening and closing a light feel. The Hennessy handle carries a Karakusa pattern, so it looks the part in a refined kit.

Maintenance Tips

  • Brush hair from teeth after each use
  • Oil pivot regularly
  • Professional sharpening when thinning action diminishes
  • Store with blades closed
