The HH44 Yugen, and its counterpart, the HH4 Menuki, are the most ergonomic fixed-handled shears in the Hattori Hanzo lineup. Stylists enjoy how deep the offset angle is on the handle along with how far back the thumb rolls to keep both the hand and wrist in a comfortable, neutral position. The design of the HH44 allows continuous contact with the thumb while holding the wrist straight. The ergonomic finger rests at the top are designed to give more control and comfort along the shear’s neck. An exaggerated spoon tang allows the stylist to completely wrap their pinky around it and exercise more control of the stationary bottom blade. The shear is weighted slightly more in the handle to not only give the stylist more control when cutting sharp lines but also add precision to their detail work by eliminating any kind of drag in the scissor. The HH44 is a tremendous all-around cutting shear with a strong emphasis on wet hair, available in 5.5”, 6.0” and 6.5” inches.
