Hardness is the quiet spec that separates serious shears: the Saki Tsuru's blades are hardened to 61-62 HRC, firmly in premium territory. Why it matters — harder steel takes a finer convex edge and holds it longer, so the flawless cutting feel lasts well beyond the first months of use.
Each Tsuru is handmade from premium Japanese 440C steel and polished to a true mirror finish, in your choice of gold or classic steel. The convex blade delivers the smooth, precise close professionals expect, and the thumb-adjustable tension screw means you can fine-tune the action mid-service, no tools needed. An ergonomic offset handle keeps the wrist relaxed through long days at the chair.
