Description

The Ichiro Matte Black Master Set pairs two convex-edge cutting scissors — in whichever two lengths you pick — with a single 6.0” V-tooth thinner, all in 440C steel and a matte black finish. Choosing two cutting sizes is the useful part: you can run a short blade for detail and a longer one for scissor-over-comb instead of compromising on one length. The whole set is offered in a true left-handed build, blades and handles reversed.

• Two cutters plus a 6.0” thinner: cutting scissors in any two of 5.0”, 5.5”, 6.0”, 6.5” and 7.0”, matched to a 6.0” V-tooth thinning blade
• 440C at 58-60HRC: consistent, properly hardened stainless that holds an edge and keeps its convex bevel through resharpening
• V-form thinning teeth: lift a moderate 20-25% on dry hair (25-30% wet), so the thinner softens and blends weight lines rather than gouging
• Offset handle: keeps the wrist neutral across long cutting sessions on every piece
• Matte black finish: the coating is the part that shows wear at the pivot and contact points over time
• Left- and right-handed builds: the full set comes in a genuinely reversed grind
• Supplied with: two scissor cases, styling razor blades, finger inserts, oil brush, cleaning cloth and tension key

Professional Opinion

“What a set has to do is cover the two halves of a haircut, and this one is sensibly built: two convex-edge cutting scissors in whichever lengths you pick, plus a 6.0” V-tooth thinner that takes out a moderate 20-30% — enough to soften and blend without gouging. Choosing two cutting sizes is the clever part, because it lets you pair, say, a short blade for detail and a longer one for scissor-over-comb rather than compromising on one. The 440C at 58-60HRC across the set is consistent, properly hardened stainless that holds an edge and keeps its convex bevel through resharpening, and the matte black finish looks the part — though that coating is the bit that shows wear at the pivot and contact points over time. A genuine plus is that the whole set is offered in a true left-handed build, blades and handles reversed, which left-handers are too often denied. The trade-off to go in clear-eyed about: a V-tooth thinner finishes and blends, it doesn’t strip a dense, coarse head fast, so heavy debulkers will still want a coarse texturiser on the side. As a complete starting kit, or a clean matched upgrade, the value after the discount is strong.”
