Where this sits
In U&U's cutting scissors lineup the U&U ER Professional Cutting Scissors occupies the premium band, priced above the U&U Sword Professional Cutting Scissors. Manufactured in Japan.
The U&U ER is a cobalt alloy steel cutting scissor hand-forged by Utsumi in Settsu City, Osaka. It comes in two sizes — 6.2 inches (ER-62) and 7 inches (ER-70) — both sharing the same offset handle geometry and convex blade. The longer lengths suit stylists who take larger sections or use slide and channel cutting techniques that benefit from extended blade travel.
Cobalt alloy steel gives the ER series stronger edge retention than standard stainless, which is relevant when working through high volumes or coarser textures. For current size availability and pricing, visit Utsumi America or the U&U brand page on ScissorPedia.

Professional Opinion
With 6.2 and 7.0 inch options, the ER leans toward stylists and barbers who like a longer blade for bulk work and slide cutting. The hand-forged cobalt alloy and convex edge are built to hold up through high-volume daily cutting.
