The 6.3” K-6 combines a long, extra-wide double-sword blade with greater weight and blade strength for powerful cutting through larger and heavier sections. Its substantial blade profile creates a strong, stable feel through the cut, making it particularly suited to blunt cutting, slicing, layering, scissor-over-comb and professionals who prefer a heavier, more powerful scissor.
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.
Powerful double-sword blade performance for strong, smooth cutting through larger and heavier sections.

Maximum power
The K-6 is a powerful cutting scissor built around a double-sword blade design. Its extra-wide blade profile and reinforced blade construction provide exceptional strength and stability through the hair, delivering smooth, powerful cutting even through larger or heavier sections.
It performs exceptionally well for strong cutting, larger sections, blunt cutting, slicing, layering and scissor-over-comb on wet or dry hair. A powerful choice for hairdressers and barbers who want maximum blade strength and cutting power without sacrificing control.
The 6.3” K-6 offers a slightly longer blade than a traditional 6.0”, giving you more cutting length while still retaining a controlled, balanced feel. Its proportions make it a versatile choice for both salon and barbering work, particularly where you want a little more blade without moving up to a full 6.5”.
Best suited to

Why choose the 6.3”?
