Aichi VX Gold Handle Cutting Scissors

Description

Aichi build the VX on 440C stainless and wrap it in a rose-gold plated surface that is fixed to the steel, not laid over it, so the warm tone stays put through years of bench work. The hand-polished convex profile is the all-rounder edge most stylists default to, sliding cleanly through club and point cutting alike. An offset grip and a countersunk dial for tension keep the hand square across the five lengths, from a nimble 5.0” up to a 7.0”. Under two ounces, it sits light in the palm without feeling flimsy.

Professional Opinion

“The 440C convex edge is honest, general-purpose steel, and the rose-gold plating reads as jewellery while behaving like a tool — wipe it dry and oil the pivot and it stays bright. We rate it most for a stylist who wants one good-looking everyday pair across slicing and point work rather than a specialist edge. The one caveat: 440C is a dependable rather than ultra-premium steel, so if you want maximum edge retention between services, look higher up the range.”
