The blades are hand-honed and hollow ground with a convex edge, giving a smooth, clean cut with minimal push on the hair. A 6-inch blade covers more hair per cut, making it well suited to blunt one-length lines, slide cutting, longer layers and light scissor-over-comb work, while remaining manageable for most hands.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe offset handle positions the thumb ring further back than the finger ring, so your thumb, wrist and elbow sit in a more relaxed, natural position. This reduces strain during long days on the salon floor and makes it easier to keep your elbow down when cutting. The teardrop finger holes and fixed finger rest help you keep a secure, comfortable hold, while the coin-adjustable tension lets you fine-tune the blade tension for a smooth, even close. The fixed finger rest gives extra support and control for the little finger.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCobalt-based stainless steel offers improved hardness and edge retention compared with standard stainless steel, so the edge stays sharper for longer between services.
