About

About the HH6 Kime

The Hattori Hanzo HH6 is a staple in Hanzo’s high-carbon shear range, with a strong emphasis placed on its dry cutting properties. Potentially our most well-rounded shear, the HH6 not only efficiently cuts dry hair but will make short work of any kind of wet haircutting as well. It has a thicker blade designed to push through thick, coarse dry hair quickly. The radius on the edges of the HH6 is slightly different to help it to peel hair via techniques like channel cutting and slide cutting. This shear will not tear hair like many other shears might when performing these techniques. And even though there is a slight bevel at the tip, you can still cut exquisite sharp lines on wet hair. The Kime was developed with an ergonomic handle plus an offset on the thumb to give the user more control and comfort while cutting. It comes in three lengths between 5.0” and 6.0” inches. We also offer the Kime in a 6.0” inch left-handed configuration called the HH6L and a swivel version called the HH6S.
