About

About the HH1S Kamikaze Swivel

The Hattori Hanzo HH1S Kamikaze Swivel is the newest addition to Hanzo’s exclusive high-carbon family. Available in single and double-swivel options, swivel enthusiasts can now enjoy the elite slide-cutting capabilities that the Kamikaze offers, along with a greater range of motion and improved comfort. Designed with a wide blade and exaggerated radius, this shear excels at dry slide cutting, allowing it to cut through coarse, dry hair easily. The HH1S is perfect for any stylist who does a lot of dry finishing or detail work, such as channel cutting, slide cutting, carving, face-framing, and point cutting. The Kamikaze is especially useful for curly hair (typically cut dry) with a curved shape to follow the curl pattern. The HH1S is adept at layering, texturizing hair, and blending extensions.

A non-swivel version is also available.
