Where this sits
The Tokoya OJS30T Thinning Scissors uses 440C. Manufactured in Japan.
The Tokoya OJS30T is a thinning scissor built from Japanese 440C steel with a 30-tooth blade and offset handle. A 30-tooth count sits in the mid-range — removing a moderate proportion of hair per pass, giving the stylist control over blending intensity without aggressive bulk reduction in a single stroke.
The offset handle mirrors the geometry of the Tokoya cutting scissors, making it a natural companion shear. For confirmed specifications, current pricing, and stock, see the Tokoya shears collection at Edgemaster International.

Professional Opinion
Thirty teeth removes a moderate amount of hair per pass, so this suits blending and softening work where you want control rather than heavy bulk removal in one stroke. The offset handle mirrors Tokoya's cutting scissors, keeping your hand position familiar when you swap shears mid-cut.
Maintenance Tips
- Wipe blades after each client
- Oil the pivot point regularly
- Professional sharpening when edge dulls
- Store in protective case
