The blades are hand-honed and hollow ground with a convex edge, giving a smooth, clean cut with minimal push on the hair. A 5-inch blade is compact and highly controllable - ideal for detail work, fringes, around the ears, point cutting, layering and precision work on short to mid-length styles, and it suits smaller to medium hands.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe classic straight (opposing) handle has symmetrical rings that sit directly opposite each other, giving a traditional, balanced feel that suits point cutting, blunt lines and stylists who prefer a conventional grip or who switch their hold often. The teardrop finger holes and removable finger rest help you keep a secure, comfortable hold, while the adjustable tension dial lets you fine-tune the blade tension for a smooth, even close. The finger rest is removable, so you can work with or without it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCobalt stainless steel offers improved hardness and edge retention compared with standard stainless steel, so the edge stays sharper for longer between services.
