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. 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.

Professional Opinion
At 5.5 inches this is a versatile length for salon work, compact enough for detail around ears and fringes yet long enough to move through sections efficiently. The convex blade in Japanese 440C steel suits precision cutting, and the offset handle keeps the wrist relaxed over a full day.
Maintenance Tips
- Wipe blades after each client
- Oil the pivot point regularly
- Professional sharpening when edge dulls
