Take a Step Up with Beautiful Blue
- Spend more time being creative, less time sharpening—with blades made of premium Japanese VG-10W stainless steel, Blue series forged shears stay sharper for longer, so you can style without worry
- The sharpest cutting edge for effortless styling—Blue offers fully convex/hollow-ground blades for ultra-precise cutting
- Find the right handle style for you—choose classic straight handles (point-cutting perfect!) or ergonomic offset handles
