Description
A 5.5-inch Japanese 440C steel cutting scissor from Tokoya with an offset handle and convex blade.
Where this sits
In Tokoya's cutting scissors lineup the Tokoya OJS55 Professional Cutting Scissors occupies the mid-range tier, priced below the Tokoya OJS Set Scissors and Thinning Set. It uses 440C, a Japan pro workhorse stainless with a working hardness of 58–60 HRC. Manufactured in Japan.
The Tokoya OJS55 is a 5.5-inch cutting scissor made from Japanese 440C steel with an offset handle and convex blade. The 5.5-inch length is the most common choice in salon cutting — compact enough for detail work, long enough to move through most sections without repositioning.
The OJS55 is also available as a set alongside a matching thinning scissor (see the Tokoya OJS Set). For pricing and stock, visit the Tokoya shears collection at Edgemaster International.
