Professional Opinion
The hardened ATS-314 cobalt alloy is the detail I would point to first, since that steel holds a keen edge through long days of cutting. At 5.5 or 6.0 inches it covers the sizes most stylists keep on the station, and the forged build suits anyone who likes a solid, planted feel in the hand.
