Cobalt Apex Cutting Shears
The foundation of this professional set is the Cobalt Apex cutting shears with their exceptional tip strength and precision control. The specialized YL blade design enhances cutting power at the critical tip area—where detailed work demands absolute performance.
The reinforced blade geometry lets you slice through even thick, resistant hair with zero pushback. This creates clean lines, exact detail work, and perfect control across all cutting techniques—from geometric shapes to intricate texturizing and precision point cutting.
Size Options:
5.5": Perfect for extreme detail work and stylists with smaller hands
6.0": Our most popular size balancing control with efficiency
6.5": Ideal for precision work on thicker hair types
Cobalt Texturizing Shears
Paired with your Apex cutting shears, select the texturizing shears that perfectly complement your precision-focused cutting style:
Finesse (15% Cut Ratio): Creates subtle, virtually invisible texturing perfect for precision finishing and fine detail work. Ideal for stylists who need delicate weight removal without sacrificing volume or shape integrity.
Blend (20% Cut Ratio): The versatile all-rounder providing perfect balance between weight removal and volume retention. Our most popular choice for everyday texturizing with excellent control.
Sculptor (30% Cut Ratio): Delivers significant weight reduction with precise control. Ideal for stylists who work with thick, resistant hair types requiring substantial bulk removal while maintaining shape definition.
Professional-Grade Features
Precision-Balanced Ergonomics
Both shears in your set feature identical ergonomic design and balance, creating a consistent feel when transitioning between cutting and texturizing. The offset handles with removable finger rests allow customization based on your cutting style and reduce hand fatigue during detailed work sessions.
Precision Click-Lock Tension
The specialized ball-bearing tension system provides micro-adjustable control with perfect consistency across both shears. Each click delivers precise, measurable tension adjustment that won't drift during use—crucial for maintaining exact control during detailed cutting work.
Professional Balance Calibration
Juntetsu's master craftsmen meticulously balance each pair of shears for perfect weight distribution. This precision calibration ensures controlled movement and reduces wrist strain during extended detail work, allowing you to work with confident precision across all techniques.
Professional Opinion
"I invested in the Cobalt Apex Professional Set about 4 months ago after developing a focus on precision cutting techniques. This matched set has completely elevated the level of detail in my work.
The Apex cutting shears are extraordinary for detail work. That enhanced tip strength makes such a difference when you're doing point cutting or working on detailed sections. They just bite through the hair with zero resistance, giving you absolute control over your lines.
I chose the Finesse texturizers (15%) to complement my precision approach. When I'm creating detailed architectural shapes, I don't want the texturizing to compromise the integrity of the lines. The Finesse provides just enough weight removal without disturbing the structure.
What I love about having the matched set is the seamless transition between tools. Same weight, same balance, same feel in the hand—it's like you're using the same shears but with different cutting actions. That consistency makes such a difference during detailed work.
The VG-10 cobalt steel is exceptional. Four months of daily precision cutting in a busy salon, and both pairs maintain their perfect edge. The tension system is just as impressive—stays exactly where I set it throughout the day, which is crucial for control.
The premium kit has been a great bonus. The texturizing razor has become essential for my finishing techniques, and the carbon fiber comb is now the only one I use for precision sectioning.
For stylists who specialize in precise, detailed work, this set is absolutely worth the investment. The level of control and consistency between the two tools makes a noticeable difference in your cutting precision and efficiency."

Japan Scissors supports customers with clear shipping, return and warranty information. Eligible U.S. orders may ship from the U.S., Japan, Australia or approved supply partners depending on stock and the fastest reliable route.
Returns and exchanges are available within 30 days of delivery with return authorization. Approved U.S. returns are processed through our Laguna Beach, California returns address.
Warranty support is brand and model specific, and applies to confirmed manufacturing defects. Normal dulling, tension adjustment, wear, misuse, chemical damage and improper sharpening are not warranty defects.
Before judging sharpness, check the tension. New professional shears can feel loose or tight after shipping, and a small tension adjustment often fixes hair folding, pushing or uneven cutting.
Clean and dry the blades after use, oil the pivot area, and avoid cutting paper, fabric, plastic, wire or anything other than hair. Use a professional sharpener familiar with hair shears.
I am genuinely impressed! I’ve purchased a lot of professional scissors over the years, but I’ve honestly never seen packaging and presentation at this level. From the moment I opened the box, everything felt premium—from the beautiful leather case and cleaning accessories to the certificate of authenticity and attention to every little detail.
The craftsmanship is outstanding. You can tell these scissors were made with pride and precision. Every accessory is thoughtfully included, and the quality exceeds my expectations. It’s rare to find a company that puts this much care into both the product and the customer experience.
If the performance matches the incredible first impression, these will easily be the best scissors I’ve ever owned. So far, I couldn’t be happier with my purchase. Highly recommended to anyone looking for true professional quality. Thank you for creating such an exceptional product!
Bought Ichiro scissors a couple years ago. I’m ready for a Japanese made one. I’ve decided on Juntetsu and lucky me it was on sale and fit my budget. It’s definitely a step up from my previous scissors. It cuts very clean (wet cutting); I can see the difference after the hair dries- more neat.
Love the pouch that comes with it. I don’t regret buying this. And this company has been my go to for hair shears.
Love my new shears. The color is beautiful, slightly more gold than rose which I am perfectly happy about. My only complaint is that I feel like the end of the shears aren't quite as sharp, but they may just need to be tightened slightly.
I owned three pairs of “Sword” scissors. Kamisori, sensei Fit and now Juntetsu.
I like the smooth cutting feeling of Kamisori. It lasts 5 years. Sensei Fit seems more durable but it isn’t as sharp and smooth as the others. I don’t know how durable this pair of shear last. I purchased it last week. It cuts sharp and smooth. Slightly sharper than Kamisori. They are all very light and balanced shears
Bought these to reduce the strain with the heavy pairs but I was worried it would be too light and not cut. Leave it to Japan to make something half the weight and twice the strength and cutting performance . Balance is top notch . Has made in japan so you known it’s real
Been using Juntetsu since 2019! Just replaced my 6.0” pair I dropped. You can totally get 5000 cuts from these. Japanese shears are the only choice. The best
literally just finished my first full day with these and im in love 😍 was nervous about the 7 inch length coming from 5.5 but it actually makes sectioning so much faster! did 3 fades today and my hand doesn’t even hurt. Arrived fast too 👍
Im obsessed with these juntetsu scissors! These looks beautifully at my station. And they perform all my precision layering and I also do a lot of detailed bob work and these give me great control. 🌈
Still pretty new to the game but my mentor told me to invest in good shears early. These VG10s were def a budget stretch. but what a difference. Only been using them about 3 months but they're still crazy sharp. Gonna be my main shears for sure.
Saturday order received on Friday in SG. It wasn't as good as I had hoped. My old scissors was pulling hair as I thinned the hair roots hair and cutting my hair shorter as well. I'm not sure if it's intended to be this way. The new pair of scissors are worth the cost to have this kind of high-end quality. I am happy with the silky smooth and thinning motion.
Super light! I have been a barber for 5+ years and I am honestly surprised by how light and sturdy these are. Sharp cuts, but the big win for me is lightweight and good ergonomics for my wrist and elbow.
The shears are sharp
My professional sharper makes the convex in this moment better
I have to went use the distance of the fingerstand of the shear a little to close
Not as sharp as I thought they would be. I can hear the cutting which leads me to believe they are dull. When I cut the hair I should not hear the blade cut the hair, it should be smooth and quiet.
I purchased Juntetsu cobalt sword shears. Their weight is just right. They are well balanced in my hand. They are very sharp and purposeful. These are my new favorite shears. My order was processed very quickly and arrived within 3 days of ordering
