Where this sits
In STR's cutting scissors lineup the STR F Series Cutting occupies the budget tier, priced between the STR Pro Classic and the STR Pro Black Offset.
The STR F Series (also listed as the Fusion Cutting range) uses alloy handles in an ergonomic offset configuration with hand-honed blades. Available in Blue (617710B) and Pink (617710P) at 5.0”, 5.5”, and 6.0”. Handles are nickel-allergy safe.
Alloy handles reduce overall weight compared to full steel construction, which can be an advantage for stylists with hand fatigue. The ergonomic offset geometry positions the thumb below the finger ring, reducing shoulder elevation during cutting.
Entry-level pricing makes this a practical option for students transitioning from training scissors into ergonomic offset design without a high initial outlay.

Professional Opinion
Alloy handles keep the weight down and the offset geometry keeps the shoulder low, two things students notice by the end of a training day. Hand-honed blades, nickel-allergy safe construction, and three sizes make the step into ergonomic scissors an easy one.
Maintenance Tips
- Wipe blades after each client
- Oil the pivot point regularly
- Professional sharpening when edge dulls
- Store in protective case
