Where this sits
In Tokoya's cutting scissors lineup the Tokoya OJS Set Scissors and Thinning Set occupies the mid-range tier, priced above the Tokoya OJS55 Professional Cutting Scissors. It uses 440C. Manufactured in Japan.
The Tokoya OJS Set pairs the 5.5-inch OJS55 cutting scissor with a matching thinning scissor, both built from Japanese 440C steel with offset handles. Buying the set gives a matched pair in the same steel grade and handle geometry — useful when stylists want consistent feel between their cutting and thinning shears.
The cutting scissor is also available individually as the Tokoya OJS55. For set pricing, availability, and current stock, see the Tokoya shears collection at Edgemaster International.

Professional Opinion
