Some of our scissors hold Patents. The most important is the patent on the teeth on our Thinners/Texturizers. All our scissors with patent has the patent number printed in the scissors.
Thinners/Texturizers are normally made by stacking 10 metal sheets on top of each other and welding them together. Then they are Wirecut in a 90 degree angle. This way 200 blades can be made at one time.
Our patented Thinners/Texturizers are wirecut in a 70 degree angle which means that only ONE blade can be made at a time. Each blade is tilted 20 degrees and then wirecut so only one blade can be made at a time. This means that our thinners and texturizers are perfect for slice cutting as the teeth are sharpened inside the grooves of the teeth in a 20 degree angle.
This procedure of wire cutting takes 3 hours for just one blade! This is why our scissors are the very best in the world. Once hairdressers try these scissors they fall in love. There are scissors on the market that claim to be as good but those are regular wire cut scissors that are wirecut in 90 degrees and does not even come close to ours in performance and endurement.
