Professional Summary

Why Professionals Choose PRECISION PRO 5.5"

PRECISION PRO is built for professionals who want a compact cutting scissor with a fine-point blade profile and dependable Japanese VG10 steel performance.

The 5.5-inch format gives excellent manoeuvrability around fringes, shorter styles, detailed sections and precision work where a longer cutting blade can feel less responsive.

Its 52 g weight keeps the scissor light and controlled, while the convex edge supports smooth cutting across everyday professional salon and barber techniques.

For professionals who prefer a smaller primary cutting scissor or want a dedicated precision tool alongside a longer everyday scissor, PRECISION PRO 5.5" provides a focused professional option.

Fine Precision Point Blade Design

The defining feature of the PRECISION PRO 5.5" is its Fine Precision Point blade design.

The refined point helps professionals work confidently around detailed sections, fringes and precise cutting lines while the convex edge maintains smooth cutting action through the hair.

The 56 mm cutting edge provides a compact working length that complements the 5.5-inch scissor format rather than trying to turn the model into a longer all-round cutting tool.

Japanese VG10 Steel Performance

The PRECISION PRO 5.5" is crafted from Japanese VG10 steel with a Rockwell hardness of 60–61 HRC, providing a premium steel foundation for precision professional cutting.

VG10 combines the hardness required for dependable edge retention with the toughness and corrosion resistance needed for everyday salon and barber use.

Combined with the Fine Precision Point blade design and 56 mm convex cutting edge, the steel supports clean cutting action, detailed control and smooth professional performance.

Correct tension, regular cleaning and oiling, careful storage and professional sharpening all contribute to maintaining long-term cutting performance.

Ergonomic Comfort & Ball-Bearing Tension

The PRECISION PRO 5.5" combines an ergonomic offset handle with a Japanese tension screw and ball-bearing pivot system.

The offset handle supports natural professional hand positioning, while the ball-bearing system helps create smooth blade movement and allows correct blade tension to be maintained.

Its compact 5.5-inch size and 52 g weight make PRECISION PRO particularly suitable for professionals who value fine control and manoeuvrability.

Mirror-Polished Silver Finish

The PRECISION PRO 5.5" uses a classic Mirror-Polished Silver Finish that keeps the focus on the fine-point blade profile, Japanese VG10 steel and professional cutting performance.

Silver offers a timeless professional appearance that suits salon and barber environments without relying on a coloured coating.

Like all professional scissors, the finish should be kept clean and dry and protected from prolonged exposure to harsh salon chemicals.
