Akito Scissors
The Hiro
- Hand crafted from Cobalt enriched Japanese 440C Steel providing the blades with a beautifully sharp, durable and powerful cutting edge.
- The Hiro features a Tapered Blade which retains 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 possesses enhanced power on the tip making for an all-round Hairdressing & Barbering Scissor.
- The 100% Japanese convex blade edge is razor sharp making the Hiro a specialist in all cutting techniques.
- Ultra Ergonomic Off-Set Crane Handle design increases hand comfort and mobility, reducing the risks of developing RSI or Carpal tunnel syndrome. The Crane curve of the scissor promotes an improved cutting posture with a more relaxed shoulder and arm position, subsequently reducing fatigue and risks of developing back and shoulder injuries. The Hiro has a Finger Ring diameter of 2.0cm and a Thumb Ring diameter of 2.0cm.
- Removable Finger Rest with Finger Bar Separator for enhanced stability and control over the guiding blade.
- The UFO adjustable tension system is flat to the scissors surface and feels effortless and smooth when cutting.
- 5.5” is a Medium-weight scissor (45g - 55g).
