The S-Gate SB, SC, and SD series are all 6.0” cutting scissors with offset handles and convex blades. The series prefix — SB, SC, SD — distinguishes models with different handle geometries at the same blade length, letting stylists choose the fit that suits their hand size and cutting posture.

Professional Opinion

Same blade length and convex edge across all three series, so the decision really comes down to which handle geometry sits best in your hand. If you can, hold each variant before choosing, because small differences in ring angle add up over years of daily cutting.

Maintenance Tips

  • Wipe blades after each client
  • Oil the pivot point regularly
  • Professional sharpening when edge dulls
  • Store in protective case
