The HHCW is one of the most recent additions to the Hattori Hanzo Shears high-carbon shear family. Designed with the barber in mind, the shear features a reduced blade radius, making it easier to cut straight lines and minimize pushing. As a high-carbon shear, it can be used for both wet and dry cutting. It also features a thicker blade with a sword-like ridge that helps maximize cutting through even the densest hair types. Available in both 7.0″ and 7.5″ lengths, the HHCW is ideal for techniques like shear-over-comb, blunt cutting, and deep point cutting. The ergonomic handle is equipped with ring holes that are slightly smaller, reducing the need for sizers. With the ability to tackle anything thrown its way, the HHCW will make short work of significant transformations and always performs when time is of the essence.
