FAQs

What type of steel are these scissors made from?

These scissors are made from premium Japanese ATS314 stainless steel, known for its hardness and durability.

Are these scissors suitable for left-handed users?

These scissors are designed for right-handed use only, as indicated by the ergonomic handle design.

How do I adjust the tension on the scissors?

The scissors feature a raised adjuster screw that can be turned with your fingers to increase or decrease the tension between the blades.

Can I use these scissors for thinning hair?

This specific model is designed for cutting and styling. For thinning, a dedicated pair of thinning shears would be more appropriate.

How should I clean and maintain my scissors?

Wipe the blades clean with a soft, dry cloth after each use. Periodically lubricate the pivot with scissor oil and store them in the provided case.

What is the lifespan of these scissors?

The Japanese ATS314 stainless steel is highly durable. Theoretically, they can withstand approximately 150,000 open and close cycles with proper care and maintenance.

Do the blunt tips affect cutting performance?

The blunt tips are a safety feature to prevent accidental skin injury. They do not hinder the cutting performance of the sharp blades themselves.

Troubleshooting

Scissors feel stiff or difficult to open/close.

Wipe blades clean and apply a drop of scissor oil to the pivot. Adjust the tension screw slightly looser if necessary.

Hair is getting caught or snagged during cutting.

Ensure the blades are clean and properly aligned. Tighten the tension screw slightly. Check that the hair is not overly wet or tangled.

Blades are not cutting cleanly.

The blades may need professional sharpening. Ensure they are clean and properly tensioned before seeking sharpening services.

Handles feel uncomfortable during use.

Experiment with different grip positions. The ergonomic design may require a slight adjustment period for your hand. Ensure the tension is set appropriately.
