• Japanese Blade Technology

The Cobalt Apex features what Japanese scissor masters call the YL design—a specialized blade geometry that's prized for its exceptional cutting power and precision.

The foundation is the Hamaguri-ha (clam shell) convex edge, which provides extraordinary sharpness while maintaining structural integrity. What makes the Apex special is how Japanese craftsmen have enhanced this design with reinforced cutting power at the tip.

In traditional Japanese scissor making, this is known as "刃先のカット力" (Hasaki no katto-ryoku) or "cutting power at the blade tip"—a prized characteristic specifically for scissors used in precision work.

This specialized geometry creates an exceptionally powerful cutting action at the tip—the area most used for precision techniques and detailed work. The result is a shear that cuts with authority through even the most resistant hair types.

• Professional Opinion

"I've been using the Cobalt Apex shears in my salon for about 5 months now. As someone who specializes in precision cuts and bobs, these have seriously changed my cutting game.

What stands out most is that tip strength. When you're doing point cutting or detailing around the ears, these just bite through the hair without any pushback. And for those clients with super thick or coarse hair? These cut through like nothing else I've used.

The balance is spot on too. Even after a full day of precision cutting, my hand feels good. That's rare with shears this precise – usually you sacrifice comfort for control, but not with these.

The VG-10 cobalt is no joke. Haven't had to touch up the edge at all in 5 months of daily use. The tension adjustment is nice too—locks in place and doesn't drift during the day.

I'm actually surprised at how much I use the extra stuff that comes with it. That texturizing razor is perfect for finishing touches, and having the carbon fiber comb means one less tool to switch between. The leather case gives that professional touch when clients see me pull out my tools.

I went with the 6.0" size. Perfect for precision work while still having enough length for longer cuts. If your work demands clean lines and control, especially on resistant hair types, these are definately worth considering. Not the cheapest option out there, but the performance justifies the investment."
