Saki Tanto 440C Hair Cutting Shears Set (Hair Cutting and Thinning Shears)

The Tanto set brings together a professional cutting shear and its matching thinner, both handcrafted from 440C Japanese steel — an alloy trusted across the trade for its hardness, edge retention, and resistance to daily salon moisture.

What defines the Tanto is its neck-and-handle design. The unique straight neck paired with a slight offset puts your wrist in a more neutral position than a classic opposing-grip shear, and over a full day of clients that difference shows up as noticeably less fatigue. The action is silky smooth, and the wider blades give the cutter unusual versatility — they carry wet sections cleanly and handle dry cutting with equal confidence.

The 6.5" cutting length suits stylists and barbers who like a longer blade for scissor-over-comb and bigger sections, while the 6.0" thinner takes care of blending and weight removal.

In the set

• Tanto hair cutting shears — 6.5"
