Where this sits
In STR's thinning scissors lineup the STR H Series Thinning occupies the budget band, priced below the STR Pro Black Thinning.
The H Series Thinning is STR’s lowest-price thinning option — stainless steel, 31 teeth, offset handle, 5.5”. An adjustable tension screw allows the cutting action to be set to preference.
At 31 teeth, each pass removes a moderate proportion of hair — finer than a low-tooth chunker but capable of meaningful thinning without excessive passes. The offset handle matches the F Series cutting range, keeping handle geometry consistent across an entry-level set.
Suited to students learning thinning technique or professionals needing a low-cost backup thinning scissor. No specific steel grade is published by the brand.

Professional Opinion
Thirty-one teeth remove a moderate amount per pass, a forgiving setup while thinning technique is still developing. The adjustable tension screw lets students set the action to their liking, and the offset handle matches STR's cutting range.
