Where this sits
In togiya's cutting scissors lineup the togiya GMC Series Professional Cutting Scissors occupies the entry-level tier, priced between the togiya GMC-50 Professional Cutting Scissors and the togiya GMC-60 Professional Cutting Scissors. Manufactured in Japan.
The GMC Series is togiya’s Global Series entry-level professional line, available in 5.0, 5.5, and 6.0 inch lengths. Each size uses HITACHI 440C stainless steel with a full convex edge ground in Japan. The offset handle positions the ring finger lower than the thumb, reducing wrist rotation during extended cutting sessions.
Steel is HITACHI 440C, a widely-used Japanese stainless with reliable edge retention and straightforward resharpening characteristics. The convex grind suits blunt cutting and slide cutting techniques, where a smooth blade-to-blade glide matters most.
All three sizes share identical steel, blade geometry, and handle design. Choose based on hand size and working length preference.
