Introducing the Yasaka KM Series ATS-314 Cobalt Precision Hair Shears, a top-tier tool crafted for professional stylists who demand excellence in every cut. Handmade in Japan by Yasaka Seiki, these shears are constructed from ATS-314 Cobalt stainless steel, a premium material known for its outstanding sharpness, durability, and resistance to wear, ensuring long-lasting performance. Available in 5.5″, 6.0″ and 6.5″, the KM series covers everything from close detail work to larger, more efficient sectioning while maintaining precision on both wet and dry hair. The straight blade design ensures clean, smooth cuts, while the three-dimensional offset handle with slightly asymmetrical finger holes provides a comfortable, natural grip, reducing hand fatigue during extended use. A sleek tang enhances control, and the adjustable tension screw allows for a tailored cutting experience, delivering effortless precision with every snip.
