Professional Opinion
Thick or wiry hair is the Orca's home turf. The sword blade and offset weight balance give plenty of slicing power, yet the short handle keeps it agile enough for finer work too. As an all-round professional scissor in ATS cobalt steel, it covers a busy column of varied clients well.
Maintenance Tips
- Wipe blades after each client
- Oil pivot regularly
- Professional sharpening recommended when edge dulls
- Store in protective case when not in use
