The Saki Kigumi is a professional hair cutting shear with a sword-style convex blade and a wood handle over a steel core. The blade is a three-layer sandwich: 440C stainless steel between two layers of wood, hand-honed and sharp out of the box. It suits working stylists and barbers who cut all day and want a light, balanced shear with a natural handle. Against all-steel shears like the Saki Katana or standard 440C models, the Kigumi trades the familiar metal grip for wood and a distinct look; buyers describe the cut as smooth and effortless.
