Same steel, same edge, same lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects — simply a returned or display unit, inspected and priced accordingly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat Makes the Sensei a Master-Level Shear\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe blades are ground from Japanese ZA-18 super premium steel, a high-alloy stainless prized for strength and long edge life, hardened to 61-63 HRC. That hardness range is the sweet spot for a convex edge: hard enough to hold razor sharpness through months of daily cutting, without becoming brittle. The convex cutting edge glides through hair rather than pushing it, which is what gives slide cuts and precision work that smooth, silent feel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTension is handled by a thumb-adjustable ball-bearing screw — no tools needed. Learning to set your own tension is a skill worth having: a quarter-turn changes how the shear closes, and the ball bearings keep that setting consistent all day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSteel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Japanese ZA-18 Super Premium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardness:\u003c\/strong\u003e 61-63 HRC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade:\u003c\/strong\u003e Convex cutting edge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTension Screw:\u003c\/strong\u003e Thumb-adjustable with ball bearings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSizes:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5.5 inch or 6.5 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandedness:\u003c\/strong\u003e Right-handed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Open box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lifetime\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho It Suits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChoose the 5.5\" for detail work and shorter cuts; reach for the 6.5\" if scissor-over-comb and larger sections are your daily bread.
