Ichiro Chomper Wide Hair Cutting Scissors

Description

The Ichiro Chomper Wide pairs a bright mirror-polished surface with a 440C Japanese blade hardened to 60 HRC — a touch harder than Ichiro’s standard line, which suits the wide convex slicing blade it is built around. That broad blade is made for slicing and slide cutting, throwing soft, blended ends rather than blunt lines, so it leans toward texturising styles. The mirror polish is a real worked finish on the steel, and the offset handle keeps the wrist comfortable through a shift. Offered at 6.0 inches, it is a distinctive specialist cutter at a mid-range price.

Professional Opinion

“The wide convex blade is the point of difference — it is lovely for slice and slide cutting, throwing soft, textured ends, and the 60 HRC 440C holds that edge a little better than the softer standard grade. The mirror polish keeps it looking sharp on the bench. Honest limitation: a wide slicing blade is a stylistic choice, not an all-rounder, so if you mostly do blunt club cutting a narrower pair will feel more natural in the hand. Matched to a texturising, slice-led way of working, it is a genuinely good tool rather than just a shiny one.”
