Description
S2 KM series ultra-light thinning scissors in ultra-fine particle steel with an offset handle. KM-18 (18-tooth) and KM-14 (14-tooth) for minimal removal. Made in Osaka by S2 Hasami.
Where this sits
In S2's thinning scissors lineup the S2 KM Thinning Scissors occupies the mid-range tier. Manufactured in Japan.
The S2 KM series covers two ultra-light thinning configurations — KM-14 (14 teeth) and KM-18 (18 teeth) — built from ultra-fine particle steel rather than the Cobalt V10 used in the standard range. Fewer teeth and finer steel combine to make these tools for minimal-removal passes: adding subtle movement, softening a finished cut, or blending without visible thinning lines.
For blade length, current pricing, and availability, see the S2 brand page on ScissorPedia or visit s2-hasami.com directly.
