Akito Scissors
F-1B
- Hand crafted from Japanese 440C Steel providing the blades with superior durability and beautifully sharp cutting edges helping you produce your finest and most creative work with seamless ease. The F-1B features a black titanium finish which makes for a Hairdressing & Barbering Scissor that is both aesthetically unique and unparalleled in performance.
- The F-1B possess a Tapered Blade retaining the weight at the back of the blade that subsequently provides a slim surface and power to the cutting edge. The Ultra Precision Tip (0.2 - 0.29cm) and Ultra Precision Blade (0.8 - 1.04cm) make for a slim and lighter feeling scissor that excels in precise and intricate cutting techniques, perfect for both Hairdressers and Barbers.
- The Semi-Convex blade edge makes for a versatile scissor that seamlessly achieves all cutting techniques; however, it excels when used to perform dry cutting, scissor over comb & cutting baselines by virtue of the increased grip that the Semi-Convex edge provides.
- The Ergonomic Off-Set Handle design increases hand comfort and therefore reduces the risk of developing RSI or Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.
- Fixed Finger Rest with Straight Finger Bar for increased mobility and freedom of movement.
- The UFO adjustable tension system is flat to the scissors surface and feels effortlessly smooth when cutting.
- 5.0" & 5.5" are Light-weight scissors (35g - 44g)

Return policy
We like to keep things simple and as easy for our customers as possible as their satisfaction is our highest priority and we pride ourselves on the Service we offer.

We therefore have requirements in place if you wish to receive a Full Refund: in order to qualify for a Full Refund you must return the Item exactly as it was received, completely new, in its original packaging with proof of purchase and not one single bit of damage.
* In the case that the above requirements are not met then we will not be able to offer a Full Refund; this means that there is damage of some sort on the Scissor.
