Gold Saki Ikigai Hairdressing Shears Set (Hair Cutting and Thinning Shears)

Saki Ikigai Gold Set: A Proper Foundation in 440C

Every cutting education starts with a shear you can trust. The Saki Ikigai set pairs a 6-inch cutting shear with a matching thinning shear, both built from 440C stainless steel: the steel we most often recommend as a first serious blade because it balances durability, sharpness, and edge retention at an honest price.

Reading the Specs Like a Pro

• 440C stainless steel: A proven high-carbon stainless that takes a keen edge and keeps it through consistent daily work.
• Japanese-style convex blade at 59-60 HRC: The convex grind gives clean, precise cuts and suits detailed styling and layering; the hardness rating tells you the edge will hold its geometry rather than roll.
• Versatile 6-inch length: Long enough for confident sectioning, short enough for control, and accommodating to a wide range of cutting techniques.
• Titanium rose gold coating: A striking finish over the steel, matched with a functional screw key for tension adjustments.
