The Yoi Dragon is a 6-inch offset cutting scissor made from Japanese Cobalt Alloy, available in red or black jewel finish at £99 (ex-VAT). The cobalt alloy steel is intended to maintain a cutting edge through extended professional use. The decorative jewel detail on the handle distinguishes this model visually within the Yoi range.
The convex blades are suited to general cutting techniques including point cutting, slicing, and blunt cutting. The offset handle keeps the thumb in a lower position to reduce wrist elevation.
