Professional Opinion
For students and apprentices buying a first serious scissor, the Avanti is the most affordable way into the Passion range. The offset handle and removable finger rest make for an easy, relaxed grip while technique is still bedding in. At 5.5 and 6.0 inches, both sizes are sensible everyday lengths.
Maintenance Tips
- Wipe blades after each client
- Oil pivot regularly
- Professional sharpening recommended when edge dulls
