Instead of casting steel and accepting whatever grain structure results, powder steel is built from atomized particles fused under pressure — producing an unusually fine, uniform microstructure. Finer grain means the edge can be taken sharper and, more importantly, stays sharper: this steel resists dulling up to three times longer than conventional shear steels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Intelio Elite CH55R puts that metallurgy to work in a 5.5-inch cutting shear. The combination of high hardness and flexibility lets the blades slice cleanly rather than push, which shows up in your work as fewer compressed ends and cleaner lines. The dense composition also resists corrosion, so the shears stay pristine through humid salon days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eErgonomically, the standout detail is the dual tangs on the lower bow — two finger rests that give you extra leverage and let your grip relax, easing hand fatigue across long cutting sessions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSteel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Powder metallurgy (fine-grain microstructure)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEdge life:\u003c\/strong\u003e Resists dulling up to 3x longer than conventional steels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dual tangs on the lower bow for leverage and a relaxed grip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCorrosion resistance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dense composition stays rust-free in salon conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho this shear suits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHigh-volume stylists who are tired of frequent sharpening cycles and want a compact 5.5\" precision shear that holds its keenness cut after cut.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Intelio Steel","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52802968650040,"sku":null,"price":605.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0692\/9216\/3384\/files\/saki-elite-powder-steel-5-5-cutting-shears-ch55r-studio-grey.png?v=1786712433","url":"https:\/\/shihanshears.com\/products\/saki-elite-powder-steel-5-5-cutting-shears-ch55r","provider":"Shihan Shears","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
