Where this sits
In STR's cutting scissors lineup the STR Pro Classic occupies the budget tier, priced below the STR F Series Cutting.
The STR Pro Classic is an entry-level stainless steel scissor in classic even handle geometry — symmetrical rings, no thumb drop. Honed blades and a detachable stopper/bumper. Three sizes: 5.0”, 5.5”, 6.0”.
At this price point it is aimed at students and apprentices needing a working pair for training, or professionals wanting a low-cost backup. The classic handle suits stylists who have not transitioned to offset or who prefer even ring geometry for specific techniques.
No specific steel grade is published by the brand. Check the retailer listing for current stock and colour options.

Professional Opinion
The classic even handle keeps both rings level, a geometry many stylists learned on and some techniques still call for. Honed blades in three sizes and a detachable bumper make a straightforward first pair for students and apprentices, or a handy backup.
Maintenance Tips
- Wipe blades after each client
