Meet Japanese Convex Scissors
Japanese scissors technique not only inherited sword katana making but also evolved into a technique called convex.
Convex scissors, commonly used in hairdressing and barbering, refer to a specific type of Japanese scissor blade design. The key characteristics of convex scissors are:
-
Blade Shape: The blades of convex scissors are curved outward into a convex shape, much like the exterior of a circle. This design provides a very sharp edge that makes these scissors ideal for slicing and creating smooth, clean cuts.
-
Sharp Edge: Convex scissors are known for their extremely sharp edges, which are honed to a fine point. This allows for precise cutting, making them popular for techniques like slide cutting or texturizing.
-
Smooth Cutting Experience: The curved blade design allows for a smoother, quieter cutting experience. This is particularly beneficial for stylists who perform a lot of detailed work or require a high level of precision in their cuts.
-
Material and Construction: Convex scissors are typically made from high-quality stainless steel or similar durable materials. They are often lighter and more ergonomically designed than traditional beveled-edge scissors, reducing hand fatigue during long cutting sessions.
- Maintenance: Due to their sharp edge, convex scissors require regular maintenance and careful handling. They need to be sharpened professionally to maintain their edge and should be stored properly to avoid damage.
Convex scissors are favored by many professional hairdressers and barbers for their precision and ease of use, especially in creating modern hairstyles that require a high degree of accuracy and smoothness.
