Professional Opinion
Stylists who cut with a classic level grip will feel at home here. The clam-shaped blade carries plenty of power, so blunt lines and long slicing strokes come through cleanly on the 6.5 and 7.0 inch lengths. ATS-314 cobalt steel is a sound choice for edge retention on that kind of daily work.
Maintenance Tips
- Wipe blades after each client
- Oil pivot regularly
- Professional sharpening recommended when edge dulls
- Store in protective case when not in use
