Where this sits
In U&U's cutting scissors lineup the U&U NY DRY CUT 60 Professional Cutting Scissors occupies the premium tier, priced below the U&U ER Professional Cutting Scissors. Manufactured in Japan.
The U&U NY DRY CUT 60 is a 6-inch cutting scissor hand-forged by Utsumi in Settsu City, Osaka. The dry-cut blade profile is shaped for work on dry hair — where the blade geometry helps maintain clean section separation without the moisture that wet hair provides.
Cobalt alloy steel is the material across the U&U range. Cobalt additions increase hardness and edge retention relative to standard stainless, allowing the blade to hold a sharper angle over more cuts before requiring attention. For current pricing and availability, visit Utsumi America or the U&U brand page on ScissorPedia.
