{"product_id":"kotaro-hairdressing-thinning-shears-scissors","title":"Kotaro Hairdressing Hair Thinning Shears\/Scissors","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Kotaro is the thinning shear we recommend when a stylist wants dependable, everyday blending from proper Japanese steel. Each pair is handmade from Japanese 440C stainless using two-piece welded construction — a build method that joins a hard cutting blade to a resilient handle body, giving you edge performance and durability in the same tool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTeeth, Sizes, and What They Mean\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Kotaro comes in two configurations: 5.75 inch with 27 teeth, or 6 inch with 30 teeth. More teeth over a longer blade means slightly finer, more distributed removal per closure — choose the 6\" if seamless blending on dense hair is your daily work, or the 5.75\" for a touch more agility. Either way, the Japanese-style convex blade at 60-61 HRC removes bulk, adds texture, and thins cleanly without chewing the hair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eErgonomics for the Long Haul\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe offset handle and ergonomic shaping put your hand, wrist, and elbow in a naturally relaxed cutting position. Over a full day of texturizing — one of the most repetitive motions in the craft — that design measurably reduces fatigue and strain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSteel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Japanese 440C stainless\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade:\u003c\/strong\u003e Japanese-style convex, 60-61 HRC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSizes:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5.75 inch with 27 teeth, or 6 inch with 30 teeth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ergonomic offset\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Handmade, two-piece welded\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded:\u003c\/strong\u003e Leather carrying case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty:\u003c\/strong\u003e Backed by a lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho It Suits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHairdressers and barbers at any stage who need a trustworthy thinner for bulk removal and texture — a tool that works comfortably, blends invisibly, and holds up to daily professional use.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Saki Shears","offers":[{"title":"5.5 Inch","offer_id":52802975498552,"sku":"KotaroThinning5.5","price":189.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"6 Inch","offer_id":52802975531320,"sku":"KotaroThinning6.0","price":189.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"6.0 Lefty","offer_id":52802975564088,"sku":"KotaroThinning6.0Left","price":189.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0692\/9216\/3384\/files\/kotaro-hairdressing-thinning-shears-scissors-studio-grey.png?v=1786712976","url":"https:\/\/shihanshears.com\/products\/kotaro-hairdressing-thinning-shears-scissors","provider":"Shihan Shears","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
