Where this sits
Manufactured in Japan.
The Yamato FB Series is a thinning scissor available in two tooth configurations: 30-tooth at a 35% cut-away ratio and 40-tooth at a 50% cut-away ratio. Both variants use a U-shaped comb tooth design, which grips hair cleanly across each tooth gap and releases the cut portion with a consistent blend line.
The 30-tooth version removes less hair per stroke, suited to fine blending and softening graduation lines without visible steps. The 40-tooth removes more hair per pass and is better suited to heavy weight reduction on thick or coarse hair types.
For current pricing, tooth count availability, and sizing, see Absolute Scissors or visit the Yamato brand page on ScissorPedia.

Professional Opinion
The published cut-away ratios make choosing straightforward: the 30-tooth at 35 percent handles everyday blending, while the 40-tooth at 50 percent is the one to reach for on thick, heavy hair. The U-shaped comb grips each section cleanly, so the blend line stays consistent.

- Wipe blades after each client
- Oil the pivot point regularly
