{"product_id":"left-hand-kotaro-hair-cutting-shears-scissors","title":"Left Hand: Kotaro Hair Cutting Shears\/Scissors","description":"\u003cp\u003eMost \"left-handed\" shears on the market are right-handed tools with flipped handles. This is not that. The left-hand Saki Kotaro is a true lefty shear, so the blades close the way your hand naturally wants them to—no over-rotating the thumb, no pushing the hair line instead of cutting it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe blade is where the Kotaro earns its keep: Japanese 440C stainless steel, hand-finished into a Japanese-style convex edge and hardened to 60–61 HRC. That combination gives you a smooth, whisper-quiet close that slide cuts cleanly on wet or dry hair. The offset handle with a removable finger rest keeps your wrist and elbow in a relaxed position, which matters more than any spec sheet when you are ten clients deep.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho this shear suits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLeft-handed stylists who have been fighting converted right-hand shears—and anyone teaching a lefty apprentice that folding hair is a tool problem, not a technique problem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSteel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Japanese 440C stainless steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEdge:\u003c\/strong\u003e Japanese-style convex blade, 60–61 HRC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandedness:\u003c\/strong\u003e True left-handed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Offset with removable finger rest\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Handmade, two-piece welded\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncludes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Leather carrying case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Saki Shears","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52802967241016,"sku":"KotaroScissorsLeft","price":189.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0692\/9216\/3384\/files\/left-hand-kotaro-hair-cutting-shears-scissors-studio-grey.png?v=1786712291","url":"https:\/\/shihanshears.com\/products\/left-hand-kotaro-hair-cutting-shears-scissors","provider":"Shihan Shears","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
