Professional Opinion
Built as the blending partner to the AX Ultimate cutter, with the same handle design so the swap feels instant. Twenty-six teeth in ATS-314 steel remove weight and soften lines without erasing the shape underneath.
Maintenance Tips
- Wipe blades after each client
- Oil pivot daily
- Professional sharpening recommended when cutting performance decreases
