Professional Opinion
Layered steel construction is the Multistack idea: a hard core for sharpness with durability built around it. In 5.5 or 6.0 inches it gives working stylists a high-end daily cutter that keeps its edge.
Maintenance Tips
- Wipe blades after each client
- Oil the pivot as the maker directs
- Professional sharpening recommended when cutting performance decreases
