Professional Opinion

Sensei's core swivel cutter is built around all-day ergonomic comfort: the swivel thumb follows your hand position instead of forcing the wrist to rotate. Japanese steel with a convex edge handles general salon cutting in 5.5 or 6.0 inches.

Maintenance Tips

  • Wipe blades after each client
  • Oil the pivot as the maker directs
  • Professional sharpening recommended when edge dulls
  • Store in protective case when not in use
