About

About the HH6S Kime Swivel

The Hattori Hanzo HH6S 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 non-swivel design and a left-handed version.

Worth the money!

These shears are nice, they give a smooth cut every time. Quality is definitely seen and felt when using them, well worth the money! The other great thing is they let you try them out before making a commitment to the shear, if you dont like them swap them for the pair that you do.

Literally replaced 3 shears

Wow... just wow. So for years I've used a 7" and 5" "green" shear as well as a nice pair of swivels designed by a famous Scott for different cuts and techniques but I haven't found anything these double swivels can't handle. Dry cuts, wet geometrics, shear over comb, surprisingly nice points, slide, deep point, channel, whacking bulk or finishing fringes... So nice, comfortable and "in control"! As Ferris would say, "If you have the means, I highly recommend them".
