Our take on the Yasaka Left-Handed Cutting Scissors

Yasaka's left-handed cutting scissors are built for lefties, with a lefty offset handle and reversed blades so the cut lines up naturally in a left hand. The 440C stainless steel blades use a clam-shaped convex edge and a slice cutting edge, a combination that grips hair and cuts with less push than a flat bevel. They come in 5, 5.5 and 6 inch lengths, so a stylist can match the size to the cutting style. Against right-handed salon shears, the main draw is the true left-handed build rather than a converted right-hand pair. Owners rate them highly, and the common praise is clean, quiet cutting and comfortable balance.

Best forLeft-handed stylists and barbersLeft-handed students building a kitDetail and point-cutting workAnyone tired of forcing right-handed shears
Pros
  • True left-handed offset handle and reversed blades
  • 440C stainless steel holds an edge well

  • Three lengths cover detail work through full-head cutting
Cons
  • Left-handed models cost more than equivalent right-handed shears
  • Convex edge needs careful handling to avoid nicks
  • Needs regular oiling and tension checks to stay smooth
  • Not the right pick for blunt-cutting styles that favor a bevel edge

Questions and answers

Are these really left-handed scissors?
Yes. They have a lefty offset handle and blades ground for a left hand, so the thumb and fingers sit the way a left-handed cut requires.
Which size should I choose?
The 5 inch pair suits detail and point cutting, 5.5 inch is a general all-round length, and 6 inch gives more leverage for full-head cutting.
What steel are the blades made of?
The blades are 440C stainless steel with a clam-shaped convex edge and a slice cutting edge.
Do they work for slide cutting?
Yes. The slice cutting edge and convex bevel are made for slide cutting and point cutting rather than blunt chopping.
How should I care for them?
Wipe them after each cut, oil the pivot regularly, and check the tension so the blades close smoothly without dragging.
Are they worth it over a cheaper left-handed pair?
If you cut hair daily, the 440C steel and convex edge hold up better than budget left-handed shears, which often lose their edge quickly.
Where is the Yasaka Left-Handed Cutting Scissors cheapest?
At Japan Scissors, for $388.00, as of our latest check.
