Professional Opinion
The set is built to start a kit from scratch: a 6 inch shear, the reversible blender, sleeves and a care kit, all in 440C stainless. Right- and left-handed versions mean nobody has to adapt their grip to the tool.
Maintenance Tips
- Wipe blades after each client
- Oil pivot daily
- Professional sharpening recommended when cutting performance decreases
