Where this sits
In S.cosmo's cutting scissors lineup the S.cosmo YS Sword Powerful Series occupies the premium tier, priced between the S.cosmo YS Convex Powerful Series and the S.cosmo YM Sword Pleasure Series. Manufactured in Japan.
The YS Sword is the sword-profile model in S.cosmo’s Powerful Series, crafted at the Cosmo-Smith workshop in Sanjo City, Niigata. The straight, symmetrical blade line characteristic of sword geometry directs cutting pressure toward the tip, giving precision control during slicing and point-cutting techniques.
The offset handle works alongside the sword profile to keep the wrist aligned and elbow low, reducing accumulated strain across a full day of cutting. The convex blade runs the full length of the sword line for consistent, smooth performance through each stroke.
A slider variant — the YS Slider G — is available separately for stylists who require tension adjustment. The Powerful Series also includes the YS Convex for those who prefer a curved blade profile. See cosmo-smith.co.jp for full details.

Professional Opinion
Built for stylists whose work lives at the blade tip: slicing, point cutting, and fine detail all benefit from the straight sword line. The offset handle pairs well with that, keeping the wrist neutral while you work through long sessions.
