The left-handed version of the HH6 Kime, the Hattori Hanzo HH6L Yumi is a left-handed staple in Hanzo’s high-carbon shear range with strong emphasis placed on its dry cutting properties. Potentially our most well-rounded shear, the HH6 series 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 series 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 Yumi 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 a 6.0” inch configuration. We also offer the Yumi in a right-handed design in multiple lengths called the HH6 Kime, along with a right-handed swivel version called the HH6S Kime Swivel.
