Like a high-end sports car, the Hattori Hanzo HHP Pai Mei will outperform almost every other shear on the market. Blends of cast or forged steels make up the composition of most shears. However, we utilize advanced production techniques in the creation of the Pai Mei. We construct each HHP from condensed microparticles of nano powder steel. The result is a scissor of unparalleled strength and cutting ability. The unique design of the Pai Mei boasts a nearly flat thumb blade with a rounded spine, combined with a curved cutting blade carrying a classic 800mm radius, creating a shear of extreme versatility and capability. Ideal for perimeter lines and bobs, the Pai Mei will cut a perfectly straight line through even the densest sections–saving the stylist precious time on every haircut.

It’s amazing what the right shears can do. So glad they’ve made such a difference in your work. Thanks for the awesome review!
CanadaGood shears
Cut well and feel nice in your hand
United StatesTruly amazing
Worth it for me and here is why: *Long days with zero fatigue *Takes 5 to 10 minutes off of every cut because they are sharp and don’t push hair * they need to be sharpened less often because of the quality of steel (once a year) *Excellent for point cutting and slide cutting (they slide cut better than my kamikazes) 5.5 blade cuts more hair and faster than my 6.5 mambas * they feel perfect in my hands with no insert rings * aesthetically, beautiful, a work of art
United StatesBest shears EVER !
I’m a Native American, anyone who has ever cut Native hair knows it’s like cutting Horse hair. My HHP Shears cut through the most thick coarse hair like butter. I highly recommend these shears. They are simply the best I’ve ever used.
United StatesSavage

Butter
These shears are like cutting butter with a hot knife. These shears are for stylists who expect nothing but the best and want chose to provide above and beyond service.
