Every stylist's first serious shear should teach them what a proper convex edge feels like — without demanding a master's budget. That is the role the Ikigai Rose Gold fills in the Apprentice Collection: genuine Japanese-style convex blades, hardened to 59–60 HRC, at a price that makes sense early in a career.
That hardness rating matters. At 59–60 HRC the steel is hard enough to take a fine, lasting edge for smooth, clean cutting, yet forgiving enough for everyday maintenance. The 6" length is the most versatile all-around size, comfortable for both sectioned cutting and detail work.
The titanium rose gold finish and decorative screw key give the Ikigai a look well beyond its price point — proof that a starter shear does not have to look like one.
