Where this sits
Manufactured in Japan.
The SS-55 is a 5.5” cutting scissor from YOSHI with an offset crane handle and convex edge. The 5.5” blade length sits in the mid-range for cutting scissors, giving enough blade for sections while remaining manoeuvrable for closer technical work.
The offset crane handle positions the thumb above and forward of the ring finger, combining the wrist-drop ergonomics of a crane with the blade control of a standard offset. This handle geometry suits stylists who mix precision detail work with faster bulk cutting.
