Where this sits
In STR's cutting scissors lineup the STR Pro Black Offset occupies the entry-level tier, priced above the STR F Series Cutting.
The Pro Black Offset is STR’s mid-range offset cutting scissor, distinguished by its titanium black coating and nickel-allergy safe handle. The coating covers the full scissor body; the convex blade edge remains exposed steel. Three sizes: 5.5”, 6.0”, 6.5”.
Nickel-allergy safe handles make this a practical choice for stylists who experience contact sensitivity from standard steel rings. The 6.5” length serves barbers and stylists working scissor-over-comb on bulk cutting.
The titanium black finish adds surface hardness alongside the visual distinction. Complements the STR Pro Black Thinning if a matched set is preferred.
