Description The Black Cobalt brings premium cobalt steel together with a stealth matte black finish and a traditional symmetric handle. It is a clean, understated scissor for stylists and barbers who want a classic grip and a slim, precise blade. Matte black coating The finish is a multi-layer matte black coating applied over the steel. It is made with hypoallergenic materials, which makes it a practical choice for stylists who react to common metals such as nickel, and it is engineered to resist chipping and hold its matte look through a long working life. ATS-314 cobalt steel and a sword profile ATS-314 is a cobalt alloy stainless steel known for its hardness and wear resistance, hardened here to around 62-63 HRC. The blade is ground slim with a subtle sword profile and finished with a hand-honed convex edge, so it stays light and precise in the hand while cutting cleanly through wet or dry hair. Symmetric classic handle Unlike an offset, the symmetric classic handle sets both rings level with each other. Many stylists prefer this traditional grip for control in precision and barbering work, and a finger rest helps steady longer sessions. Choosing your size The 5.0 inch suits detail and precision work and smaller hands. The 5.5 inch is a versatile in-between length. The 6.0 inch gives more blade for all-round cutting and shear-over-comb. Frequently asked questions Is the black coating hypoallergenic?

Wipe the blades clean and dry after each client and add a drop of scissor oil at the pivot regularly. Avoid abrasive cleaners so the matte coating keeps its finish.
