Professional Opinion
The Signature swivel pairs a rotating thumb with a convex 440C blade in 5.5 or 6.0 inch. Built for cutting days that run long, where reduced hand and wrist strain matters as much as the edge itself.
Maintenance Tips
- Wipe blades after each client
- Oil the pivot as the maker directs
- Professional sharpening recommended when cutting performance decreases
