Where this sits
Manufactured in Japan.
The Omega AX series spans three tooth counts — AX-15, AX-25, and AX-30 — covering light through to moderate thinning in a single line. Fewer teeth (AX-15) remove more hair per pass for bulk work; more teeth (AX-30) take finer amounts for blending and soft-finish texturising. All three use an offset handle and are made in Japan.
For exact blade lengths, current pricing, and availability, see the Omega brand page on ScissorPedia or visit Takano Canada directly.

Professional Opinion
The AX line works like a volume dial: 15 teeth for light controlled removal, 25 for moderate blending, 30 for fine texturising. Owning more than one lets you match the thinner to the hair in front of you instead of making one blade do everything.
Maintenance Tips
- Wipe blades after each client
- Oil the pivot point regularly
- Professional sharpening when edge dulls
- Store in protective case
