Professional Opinion
At 7.0 inches with a convex 440C blade, this is the long dry cutter in the Signature Series. The extra blade length carries a smooth, continuous stroke through dry sections, which is exactly what detail dry work asks for.
Maintenance Tips
- Wipe blades after each client
- Oil the pivot as the maker directs
- Professional sharpening recommended when cutting performance decreases
