Professional Opinion
The crane grip positions the thumb under the index finger, which takes strain out of the hand across a long day, and the Shear Fit guards let you fit the rings to your fingers. Forged 440-A Hitachi steel with a hand-honed full convex edge covers general salon cutting in 5.5 and 6.25 inches.
