Product Description
Professional scissors made of Japanese high-alloy stainless steel. During production, a highly distinctive method of grinding the inner surfaces of the blades is used, using special Japanese stones. Thanks to the optimal cutting angle, convex edges, and appropriate tension setting, Akashi scissors are extremely sharp and ideal for various cutting techniques.
The scissors have a removable finger rest and an adjustment screw. The length of the scissors with the support is 16 cm, and the length of the working part is 5 cm.
Use and Maintenance
For the scissors to last a long time, protect them against falling, clean them with a brush and a soft cloth after each use, and oil them. Scissors should always be kept closed, preferably in a case. Despite being made of stainless steel, it is worth knowing that this type of steel is only more resistant to corrosion, which may occur if the scissors are in long-term contact with water. Scissors should not be soaked and disinfected with special alcohol-based agents. The life of the scissors is also affected by their proper grip.
Incorrect alignment of scissors can seriously damage the blades. If the scissors are too loose, hair can become trapped between the blades. If they are too tight, it increases the wear on the blade material. Both incorrect settings shorten the life of the scissors and impair their cutting properties.
How to Properly Adjust the Scissors?
Adjust the scissors so that they close under their own weight. Then adjust it with the screw so that the blade cannot close under its own weight and remains in place in any position (see illustration).
