Details
Yasaka is one of the quiet legends of Japanese shear-making, and the steel tells you why. These shears are forged in Japan from ATS-314 — a premium high-carbon stainless that sits a clear step above the common 440C grade in hardness and edge retention. If you have wondered what separates a good shear from a genuinely great one, ATS-314 is a large part of the answer.
Blade and geometry
The blade carries a slight angle that improves accuracy and control at the point of cut — a subtle refinement you feel most in scissor-over-comb and precision line work. It performs equally on wet and dry hair, and you can choose the length that matches your method: 5.0" for detail-first cutters, 5.5" as the classic all-rounder, or 6.0" for broader technique and barbering.
In the hand
The offset handle sets your thumb ahead of your fingers so the hand stays open and relaxed, and the sleek tang gives the little finger a proper anchor. The larger finger ring carries Yasaka's signature blue insert for a secure, comfortable grip through long sessions. A precision tension screw lets you fine-tune the action to your exact preference.
Who it suits
The working professional ready to move up to true Japanese forging — a shear you buy once and sharpen for a decade.

Absolutely, sharpening your Shihan Shears is essential for maintaining their peak performance. The frequency at which you should sharpen them can vary based on how often they are used, but for professional use, it is advisable to sharpen them every 4 to 6 months as a general rule.
Generally, women prefer scissors between 5.5” and 6.0" as they tend to fit their needs comfortably, while men usually choose larger shears, with a preference for those between 6.0” and 6.5”. For specific techniques like scissor over comb and styling longer hair, scissors that are 6.5” to 7” in length are advised. Nonetheless, the primary factor should be how comfortable the scissors are to use, making sure they feel natural in your hand and align with your cutting style and techniques.
