Where this sits
In Yamajo's thinning scissors lineup the Yamajo VG10 Bearing Masterway Thinning Scissors occupies the mid-range tier, priced between the Yamajo Cobalt Step Cut Plus Thinning Scissors and the Yamajo ATS-314 Bearing Argon Thinning Scissors. Manufactured in South Korea.
The Yamajo VG10 Bearing Masterway Thinning range — marketed under the Ten-Ten name — offers three distinct tooth counts: 10, 16, and 26. Yamajo publishes VG10 steel and a bearing pivot for this series, consistent with the Masterway cutting range. The bearing pivot provides smooth, consistent action through the heavy removal work the lower tooth counts demand.
Tooth count determines how much hair each pass removes: the 10T takes the heaviest cut and suits chunking, separation, and dramatic weight removal; the 16T sits in the mid-weight range for general blending; the 26T takes less per pass for lighter texturising and soft finishing. All three share the same offset handle geometry.
For current pricing across all three Ten-Ten variants, visit Yamajo Mall or see the Yamajo brand page on ScissorPedia.

Professional Opinion
Three tooth counts in one family covers most removal work while keeping the hand feel consistent as you switch between them. The 10T is the one for serious weight removal, the 26T for soft finishing, and the bearing pivot keeps the action smooth through all of it.
Maintenance Tips
- Wipe blades after each client
- Oil the pivot point regularly
- Professional sharpening when edge dulls
- Store in protective case
