Description: KEIUN are some of the world’s finest hair shears, being recognized by professional stylists all over the globe and also by the Japanese Hairdressing Scissors Consortium. KEIUN are hair cutting shears created with the beauty and edge of a Japanese sword under the supervision of Mr. Shigeyoshi Iwasaki, a highly reputed Sanjo craftsman of Japanese swords.
Have you ever used something so good that the only thing you notice is the result? The YS-55 KEIUN Alto is like that. These shears feature a 2.5 inch blade and have an overall length of 6.4 inches. They are well suited to cutting both wet and dry hair. They have strong abrasion resistance and are designed for chop cutting.
The damascus steel used in these scissors is forged from two stainless steel alloys, repeatedly folded and tempered. The result of this forging method is an extremely pure metal structure that combines strength with flexibility, a unique dampening property (which transmits the cutting feel), and a stunning water flow pattern, typical of damascus. Hairdressers have praised these scissors for ergonomics that make the scissors an extension of the hand.
The inner surface of these scissors is hand finished with a layer of stainless cobalt steel to enhance durability and sharpness. The adjustable screw gives you the ability to set the tension exactly as you want it. The result is a beautifully hand-worked shear with a one-of-a-kind damascus pattern, and the highest available cutting performance in any hairdressing shear. Each scissor is marked with an individual ID for quality control and customer confidence. Professional hairdressers acknowledge KEIUN as the benchmark standard of excellence for both superb sharpness and ease of use. These are the ultimate hairdressing shears for any hairstylist!
Included in the box are two finger ring inserts.
Hand forged in Sanjo, Japan.
