A-3 Dimensions
Below are the measurements and an overview of each available A-3 size, helping you compare the differences in length, weight, blade profile and cutting feel.
A-3 / 5.5"
| Detail | Spec | Type |
|---|---|---|
| Overall length | 14 cm / 5.5" | Small |
| Weight | 50 g / 1.8 oz | Light |
| Blade length | 5.9 cm / 2.3" | Medium |
| Blade width | 1.0 cm / 0.39" | Slim |
| Tip width | 0.3 cm / 0.12" | Pointed |
The 5.5" combines a light overall weight with a slim tapered blade and pointed tip for clean control, precision cutting and detailed finishing. It is particularly suited to sharp section work, accurate lines, fringes, point cutting, short layers and refined wet or dry cutting.
The finger and thumb holes are designed to fit all finger sizes. Finger inserts are included with every scissor for a more secure, personalised fit.
How we measure
-
Overall length: Measured from the blade tip to the furthest point of the handle, excluding the finger rest.
-
Blade length: Measured from the tip to where the cutting blade shape ends, rather than to the centre of the pivot.
-
Blade width: Measured at the widest point of the blade.
-
Tip width: Measured close to the end of the blade.
-
Weight: Measured for the complete scissor.

Please note: Slight variations may occur between individual scissors.
