Curator’s note — The Musashi line was built for barbers — a Saki cutter with the reach and backbone for clipper-over-comb finishing and clean outlines.
Shear Size Guide
A shear is a lifetime tool. Thirty seconds of measuring saves you ten years of the wrong one.
Measure against your hand
Hold a shear (or a ruler) against your open palm. The blade should roughly match the length of your middle finger, and the whole shear should be about the length of your palm from crease to fingertip. If the blade runs well past your finger, size down; if it disappears against it, size up.
What each length is for
5.0"–5.5" — Precision and detail work: point cutting, texturizing around the face, close control. The choice for smaller hands and exacting layer work.
5.75"–6.0" — The all-rounder. Most working stylists live here: enough blade for full sections, still nimble for detail. If you own one shear, this is the length.
6.5"–7.0" — Scissor-over-comb, barbering, and heavy section work. The longer blade covers a comb in one pass and powers through dense hair — a barber's daily driver.
The 30-second balance test
When your shears arrive, run this test: hold them with only your thumb and ring finger in the rings, open and close them slowly ten times at eye level. The blades should move without your wrist tensing, and the tips shouldn’t dip or wander. That’s balance — it matters more than any spec on the page.
Still unsure?
Order the length that tests best on your hand — every shear ships free with free returns, so if it doesn’t feel right in your hand, send it back and try the next size. And every blade we sell is backed by our lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects.
Routine sharpening & normal wear are part of shear care

Every kit needs its workhorse — the shear you reach for without thinking because it simply performs. The Saki Musashi is built for that role. Offered in 6" and 7" lengths, it's a professional cutting shear made from 440C stainless steel, an alloy chosen for durability and its ability to keep a sharp working edge through the busiest salon and barbershop weeks.
The blades are convex-ground — the geometry behind the smooth, whisper-quiet close that professionals expect — so lines come out crisp whether you're building a precision cut or moving fast through scissor-over-comb. The ergonomic handle fits a wide range of hand sizes comfortably, and the 7" option gives barbers extra blade for over-comb work and bigger sections.
