About

About the HH6LS Kime Swivel

The Hattori Hanzo HH6LS Kime Swivel—a staple for swivel enthusiasts in Hanzo’s high-carbon line—strongly emphasizes its dry-cutting properties. Considered one of the most versatile shears in Hanzo’s lineup, the HH6 series efficiently cuts dry hair and allows stylists to cut exquisite sharp lines on wet hair. The edges of the HH6S have a slightly more exaggerated radius to facilitate peeling hair using techniques like channel cutting and slide cutting. This shear will not tear hair like other shears when performing these techniques. The Kime Swivel was developed with an ergonomic handle and an offset swivel thumb to give the user more control and comfort while cutting.

This model is also available in a right-handed version.

So comfortable

Love the way they fit in my hand. The glide is smooth and the cuts are more precise than my last shears (not Hanzo). So happy with my purchase!
