Where this sits
Manufactured in Japan.
The Arcoba AC series is Tokyo Riki’s broadest cutting range, spanning from the compact 5.0” AC-50 through to the 8.0” AC-80H. Model suffixes indicate length and handle variant — the G and H designations on longer models denote handle geometry options within the range. All share cobalt steel construction, an offset handle, and a convex blade.
Tokyo Riki has produced scissors at their Itabashi, Tokyo facility since 1946. The Arcoba line sits alongside the Kocho series, offering an alternative series identity within the same Japanese manufacturing context. The ACM-60 is the 6.0” variant with an alternative handle specification within the AC family.

Professional Opinion
With lengths running from 5.0 to 8.0 inches, this range lets you pick exactly the reach you need without changing steel or handle feel. Cobalt blades with an offset grip suit salon and session work alike, and the longer 7.0 and 8.0 options give barbers room for scissor-over-comb.
Maintenance Tips
- Wipe blades after each client
- Oil the pivot point regularly
- Professional sharpening when edge dulls
- Store in protective case
