Where this sits
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.

Specifications
Professional Opinion
These are finesse tools rather than bulk removers: 14 or 18 teeth take only a whisper of hair, ideal for softening a finished cut or adding movement without visible thinning marks. Reach for them when a standard thinner would take too much.
Maintenance Tips
- Wipe blades after each client
- Oil the pivot point regularly
- Professional sharpening when edge dulls
- Store in protective case
