Is this set really made for left-handed cutters?

Yes. The blades and handles are mirrored for the left hand, so you cut without flipping the shear or pushing the thumb the wrong way. Right-handed shears force lefties to cross their hands and strain the wrist.

What is included in the box?

One 5.75-inch cutting shear, one 27-tooth thinning shear, a cream leatherette carry case with slots for both, two tension adjustment tools and four finger inserts already installed.

Can I adjust how tight the shears feel?

Yes. Each shear has a screw-type tension adjuster, and a tool for each is included. Turn it to loosen or tighten the pivot until the blades close smoothly.

Is 5.75 inches a good length for a student?

It is a common student length. It gives control for detail work and general cutting, and it is lighter to handle during long practice sessions than a longer shear.

Will the blades stay sharp through school?

The blades are hardened to hold an edge through heavy classroom use. Like any professional shear, they should be kept clean and oiled and sharpened by a trained sharpener when they start pulling.

Does the thinner remove a lot of hair?

The 27-tooth pattern is a moderate thinner for blending and softening weight. It is not a deep chunking tool, so it suits students learning to texturize without over-thinning.
