Where this sits
Manufactured in Japan.
The GMT-38 is the thinning scissor in togiya’s Global Series, pairing the same HITACHI 440C stainless steel used across the GMC cutting range with a 38-tooth blade. At 38 teeth, the scissor removes a moderate percentage of hair per pass — suited to thinning dense sections, softening blunt lines, and reducing bulk without taking out too much weight in one movement.
The convex edge on both the toothed blade and the opposing flat blade produces a clean cut on each tooth contact. The offset handle matches the ergonomic geometry of the GMC cutting scissors, making the GMT-38 a consistent pairing for stylists already working with the Global Series cutting range.

Professional Opinion
Thirty-eight teeth means a moderate removal per pass, so this thinner blends and debulks without leaving obvious steps in the hair. It pairs naturally with the GMC cutting scissors, sharing the same 440C steel and offset handle geometry.
Maintenance Tips
- Wipe blades after each client
- Oil the pivot point regularly
- Professional sharpening when edge dulls
