Helpful Information

All scissor prices are based on the type and quality of steel they are made from.
The popular held belief is that the best steel for scissor manufacture is in Japan. That is not the case now because other Far East Countries and countries like Sweden have made huge improvements in recent years .The types ascend from; basic 420-higher grade 440 steels. 420 holds an edge but does not have the smoothness of harder more refined 440 Then onto Molybdenum & other Hitachi blended Steels. Then Up to- Vanadium – ATS 314 and finally Damascus. 420 and 440 are stainless ( rust resistant).>

Basic Stainless Steel

The basic – entry level steel scissors can be produced in Europe and the Far East.

420 J Steels- Academy Range

The basis of better quality stainless steel. Smoother and shinier in appearance, this steel provides a better cutting edge than basic stainless steel, although it is often considered disposable due to its lower cost and basic quality.

440 C Steels- Stylist Range

Holds its edge better and it an upgrade from 420 J steel .It feels smoother and is the basis for many higher quality steels. These blended steels are often refered to as Hitachi steels.

Molybdenum Steels- Stylist- Premium Range

This has Molybdenum added to the 440C steel which gives an even smoother finish to the metal. Scissors made from this steel are smoother and can potentially hold a better edge than 440C steel. This steel re-sharpens without having to remove as much metal on a normal service – meaning your scissors can be re-sharpened more times and have a much longer life. When you cut with this steel, you immediately notice how it moves much more smoothly and with less effort.

Premium Steels- Premium Range

These offer increased smoothness and are an upgrade from 440C – Molybdenum. These steels repair and sharpens very well yes, but the benefit of Premium steels are their balance of performance, you can feel it immediately.

We offer Steels such as: VG10 and ATS 314 and of course Damascus are the best of the best . Strong and smooth, they can be serviced many times yes, but it`s the day to day feeling of quality that stylists love .

The bottom line ?….the more Premium the raw material ( steel), the more refined – flawless they feel in your hand.

What our clients say...

I finally hit the jack pot !

“I was given Ashley’s contact through Sabre Europe (our Fudge distributors) to fix a couple of pairs of scissors which I had bought and had lost their thumb for the third time. The other provider tried to fix them themselves… When I spoke to Ashley and saw his website, I was really impressed. After the repairs came back to the clients and a week had gone by with no complaints I knew finally…I hit the jack pot.”
