• Tokyo Mastersmith 7.0" Cutting Shears

The foundation of this professional set is the Tokyo Mastersmith 7.0" cutting shears—engineered specifically for the demands of professional barbering.

The Barber's Edge convex blade delivers aggressive cutting power for scissor-over-comb work while maintaining precision for fade guidelines and detail work. The 7.0" length provides exceptional reach and leverage, essential for efficient bulk removal and seamless blending techniques.

Premium ATS-314 cobalt steel construction ensures the blade maintains its aggressive cutting performance through months of high-volume use. Create clean perimeter lines, seamless fade transitions, and precise ear outlines with consistent performance client after client.

The extended ergonomic offset handle is specifically designed for barber hand positions during fade work, scissor-over-comb techniques, and extended cutting sessions. Reduced wrist angles mean less fatigue and more consistent precision throughout your day.

• Tokyo Mastersmith 7.0" Texturizing Shears

Paired with your cutting shears, select the texturizing ratio that perfectly complements your barbering style:

Finesse (15% Cut Ratio):

Creates subtle, nearly invisible texturizing perfect for executive cuts, professional styles, and detail finishing. Ideal for barbers who need delicate weight removal without compromising volume or shape integrity. Exceptional for finishing perimeter areas and creating soft, natural-looking texture in shorter cuts.

Best for: Executive and professional cuts, fine hair, subtle blend work, conservative styling

Blend (20% Cut Ratio):

The versatile all-rounder providing optimal balance between weight removal and volume retention. Our most popular choice among barbers. Delivers effective texturizing for most hair types while maintaining excellent control over the final result. Perfect for modern barbering where you need texturizing versatility.

Best for: General barbering, diverse clientele, versatile cutting styles, everyday texture work

Sculptor (30% Cut Ratio):

Delivers significant weight reduction with precise control. Ideal for barbers who regularly work with thick, dense hair requiring substantial bulk removal. Creates powerful texture and movement while maintaining shape definition. Reduces cutting time on high-volume hair without sacrificing finish quality.

Best for: Thick hair, significant bulk removal, textured modern cuts, efficient weight reduction

• Why Matched 7.0" Shears?

Having both your cutting and texturizing shears in identical 7.0" length with matched ergonomics creates workflow advantages that professionals immediately notice.

Consistent Reach and Coverage: When both shears are 7.0", you maintain identical reach whether you're cutting or texturizing. This is particularly valuable during fade work where you might switch between solid cutting and texturizing multiple times to achieve seamless transitions. No mental adjustment needed between tools.

Identical Feel and Balance: Both shears feature the same extended ergonomic offset handle and weight distribution. Your hand position, wrist angle, and cutting motion remain consistent whether you're cutting lines or removing bulk. This consistency reduces fatigue and maintains precision across your entire cutting process.

Professional Efficiency: The matched length means you can use identical techniques with both tools. Your scissor-over-comb rhythm remains the same whether you're cutting or texturizing. This efficiency matters when you're managing a full appointment book.

Tension Consistency: Both shears feature the same Tokyo ball-bearing tension system, set to identical specifications. The cutting action feels consistent between tools, making transitions intuitive rather than jarring.

• Barber's Edge Technology

Both shears in this professional set feature Barber's Edge technology—a specialized convex blade geometry developed specifically for barbering demands.

Standard texturizing shears are often designed with salon techniques in mind. Barbering requires different performance. You need texturizing shears that can handle aggressive bulk removal in dense hair, create clean texture lines for fade blending, and work effectively in shorter lengths where precision matters.

The Barber's Edge geometry on the cutting shears delivers aggressive cutting power for scissor-over-comb work while maintaining precision for guideline cuts. On the texturizing shears, this same technology ensures each tooth cuts cleanly through hair without pulling or folding, regardless of density or texture.

The result is a matched pair that performs consistently across all hair types and cutting techniques. From fine hair executive cuts to thick, coarse hair requiring significant texturizing, both shears deliver reliable, professional performance.

• Professional-Grade Features

Tokyo Ball-Bearing Tension System

Both shears feature the precision Tokyo ball-bearing system with click-lock adjustment. This isn't just about smooth opening and closing—it's about maintaining consistent tension throughout extended cutting sessions. When you're working through a full day of appointments, the last thing you need is shears that loosen up halfway through a fade. These maintain their set tension reliably, cut after cut.

Matched Ergonomic Design

The extended offset handles on both shears are identical, creating consistent hand positioning regardless of which tool you're using. The removable finger rests allow customization based on your cutting style and hand size. This attention to ergonomic detail reduces fatigue and maintains precision across extended cutting sessions.

Premium ATS-314 Cobalt Steel

Both shears are forged from the same premium Japanese cobalt steel alloy. This ensures consistent edge retention characteristics across both tools. You won't find yourself sharpening one shear more frequently than the other—they maintain their performance as a matched system.

Master Craftsmanship

Each pair is hand-finished by master craftsmen in Tokyo, continuing a shear-making tradition that dates back to 1925. Every blade is individually inspected and balanced before it leaves the workshop. This level of craftsmanship ensures both shears in your set meet exacting professional standards.

• What Barbers Say

"I bought the Tokyo Mastersmith 7.0" Professional Set about six months ago and honestly, it's transformed how I work. I went with the Blend texturizers (20%) since I have a really diverse clientele—everyone from young kids to executives.

The matched 7.0" length is brilliant. I can move between cutting and texturizing without any adjustment whatsoever. Same reach, same balance, same feel in the hand. When you're doing detailed fade work and switching between solid cutting for guidelines and texturizing for blending, that consistency makes a massive difference.

The cutting shears are exceptional. Really aggressive cutting power for scissor-over-comb work, but precise enough for detailed perimeter work and ear outlines. The 7.0" length gives you excellent leverage, so you can power through bulk removal without your hand cramping up.

The texturizing shears with the 20% ratio turned out to be perfect for my needs. Enough bite to remove weight from thick hair quickly, but controlled enough for finishing work on finer hair. The teeth are so precisely milled that the texture always looks natural, never choppy or overdone.

What really stands out is the edge retention on both shears. Six months of daily use in a busy shop, averaging 12-15 cuts per day, and they're both still cutting as sharply as day one. Haven't needed sharpening on either pair. The ATS-314 steel is genuinely impressive.

The ergonomics are spot-on. I finish Saturdays—my longest day—and my hands feel fresh. That extended offset design really does reduce strain during repetitive fade work. The tension system is rock-solid too. Set it once at the beginning of the day, and it stays exactly where you want it.

Everything else in the kit—the texturizing razor, carbon fiber comb, cleaning cloth—all gets regular use.

If you're a full-time barber who wants a professional-grade matched system, this set is worth every penny. The consistency between the two shears creates such a smooth workflow. My cuts are cleaner, I'm more efficient, and my hands thank me at the end of every day."
