Where this sits
In S.cosmo's cutting scissors lineup the S.cosmo NY Light Classic occupies the mid-range tier, priced below the S.cosmo YF Globally Series. Manufactured in Japan.
The NY is S.cosmo’s Light Classic Series model, distinguished by its even (classic) handle — a symmetrical configuration where the thumb and finger rings sit at the same height. Cosmo-Smith Co., Ltd. produces it at their Sanjo City, Niigata facility.
The even handle suits stylists who trained on classic geometry or who cut with a hand position that keeps the elbow naturally raised. Combined with a convex blade, the NY covers standard cutting techniques without the ergonomic repositioning that offset handles require during the adjustment period.
An NYM variant is available within the Light Classic Series. For the full size range and current pricing, see the S.cosmo catalogue at cosmo-smith.co.jp.

Professional Opinion
The even handle is the draw here: if you trained on classic geometry there is no adjustment period, and the convex blade still gives you clean blunt lines and tidy general work. A comfortable pick for stylists who prefer a raised-elbow cutting posture.
