Yasaka Offset Hair Cutting Shears are professional hair shears with an offset handle, a slice cutting edge and a clam-shaped convex edge. The blades are ATS314 cobalt stainless steel, a harder alloy than the 440C steel common in mid-range shears, which helps edges hold up through long cutting days. The offset handle places the thumb lower than the finger ring, so the wrist stays straighter and the hand opens and closes with less strain. They suit working stylists and serious home cutters who want a convex-edge shear for slide cutting and point cutting; against cheaper Japanese-steel shears, the cobalt steel and convex edge are the main step up.

Yasaka Offset Hair Cutting Shears are Japanese-crafted shears for hairstylists and barbers. They are made from ATS314 cobalt stainless steel and have a polished finish. The blades have a hand-honed, clam-shaped convex edge with a hollow-ground design and a slice cutting edge.
The handle is offset and has a detachable finger rest and teardrop thumb holes. The tension is adjusted with a coin, using a flat fulcrum screw. The shears come in four models: SS-450, S-500, SM-550 and M-600.
A maintenance kit is included with the shears.
