Description
Description
The K-11W is built for bold texture and maximum weight removal. Its 11 wide W-shaped teeth and 50% removal rate take out large amounts of hair with each cut, breaking up solid shape, opening dense sections and creating strong movement throughout the haircut.
It performs exceptionally well for removing bulk, creating separation, breaking up heavy shape, adding visible texture and softening dense areas on wet or dry hair. A specialist choice for hairdressers and barbers who use texture to reshape the haircut rather than simply refine the finish.

- Bold, visible texture. The specialist tooth pattern breaks up solid sections rather than simply softening them, helping create stronger movement, separation and visible texture throughout the haircut.
- Controlled bulk removal. Despite its high removal rate, the K-11W gives you control over where weight is taken away, allowing you to reshape dense areas and open heavier sections without relying on repeated cuts.
- Professional comfort and control. Its ergonomic design provides a balanced, controlled feel during repeated texturising and weight-removal work, making it suitable for both salon and barbering techniques.
