Professional Opinion
A 7 inch thinner is a sizeable tool, giving plenty of blade for moving through large, dense sections quickly. It is listed for texture and blending work, with an offset handle to keep the hand relaxed. It pairs naturally with the Kin cutting scissor for a matched long-blade kit.
Maintenance Tips
- Wipe blades clean after each client
- Oil the pivot point regularly
- Professional sharpening when edge dulls
- Store in a protective case
