Hair-Cutting Shears
Bibyo-basami (理美容鋏)
Description
Japanese hair-cutting shears are widely used by professionals for their sharpness and control. Forged in Seki and Tsubame-Sanjo using cobalt alloy steel, they often use Hamaguri-ba edges. This geometry helps the blades cut cleanly without pushing hair aside, which can reduce split ends.
