Professional Opinion
Dry cutting specialists should look here. The bamboo tapered blades are shaped for slide and dry work, the disk bearing keeps tension consistent, and three lengths from 5.8 to 6.3 inches mean you can match the shear to the sections you usually take.
Maintenance Tips
- Wipe blades after each client
- Oil pivot daily
- Professional sharpening recommended when edge dulls
- Store in protective case when not in use
