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
