• Why 7.0" Barber Shears?

The 7.0" length is the standard for serious barbers. Here's what the extra reach does for your cutting:

Scissor-Over-Comb Efficiency: Longer blade means continuous cutting motion without constant repositioning. Whether you're blending a mid-fade or working through the crown, you maintain smooth rhythm.

More Coverage Per Cut: Each snip covers more area. Fewer passes for perimeter work and bulk removal. When you're running a high-volume shop, this efficiency compounds throughout the day.

Better Leverage: The extended blade creates natural leverage for cutting through dense or resistant hair. Less effort required per cut—your hands feel the difference after a full day of appointments.

Versatile Technique Range: Handles both aggressive bulk removal and delicate guideline work. Most barbers stop switching between multiple shears once they adapt to the 7" length.

• Clam-Shaped Convex Blade Technology

The clam-shaped convex edge is precision-ground for optimal slicing performance. This isn't a standard bevel edge—the convex geometry allows the blade to slice through hair rather than pushing it.

Critical for slide cutting techniques and creating seamless fade transitions. The edge geometry maintains consistent sharpness across the entire blade length, from tip work to full-blade cuts.

ATS-314 cobalt steel holds this edge through months of professional use. While budget shears require sharpening every 4-6 weeks, these maintain cutting performance significantly longer.

• Built for Barber Ergonomics

The semi-offset handle design positions your thumb and fingers at a natural angle. This reduces the wrist extension required during scissor-over-comb work—small adjustment, significant impact on daily strain.

Lightweight construction means you're not fighting gravity while holding shears in cutting position. After 8-10 hours of continuous cutting, this weight difference matters.

The handle geometry accommodates both palm-grip and finger-grip techniques. Different cutting methods require different hand positions—these shears adapt to your style rather than forcing you to adapt to them.

• Professional Opinion

"The Yasaka 7.0" excels in both blunt cutting and slide cutting techniques, thanks to the precisely-ground clam-shaped convex edge. Particularly effective for scissor-over-comb method and creating clean fade transitions. These are versatile shears that accommodate multiple cutting styles—an essential workhorse tool for professional barbers who need reliable performance without premium pricing."
