Ichiro Tsurugi Barber Scissors

Description

The Tsurugi is 440C at 58-60 HRC with a high mirror-polish finish — a clean, reflective surface rather than a colour coating, for stylists who want the look in bright steel. Its defining feature is an angled cutting blade, set up for barber over-comb technique and longer, faster lines. The offset handle drops the thumb for a comfortable grip through a long day. It comes in the longer lengths — 6.0”, 6.5” and 7.0” — that suit that style of cutting. It is a serious barber-stylist tool that happens to look superb under salon light.

Professional Opinion

“This is the pick for a barber-stylist who wants bright polished steel rather than a colour — the angled blade and 6.0” to 7.0” lengths are built for over-comb work and carrying long, fast lines, and the 440C at 58-60 HRC backs that with a keen edge. The mirror polish looks the part without relying on a coating. Honest limitation: the angled blade and longer lengths are specialised for that cutting style, so it is less natural for tight detail and slide work, and a mirror finish shows fingerprints and light scratches, so keep a cloth handy. Dry and oil it and it stays sharp and bright.”
