The Hattori Hanzo HH88L Eighty-Eights shear is an outstanding choice for both wet and dry cutting. This is the left-handed version in a 5.5″ length. We craft the HH88L from a specialized high-carbon Japanese stainless steel and this shear features dual removable tangs, straight handles, and a tried-and-true zero-offset ring configuration. And while the offset may be zero, the finger positioning for the HH88L is still highly ergonomic, with a distinctively molded ring shape for much more comfortable finger placement. Cutters who are Vidal Sassoon trained will immediately recognize its style and feel right at home with this shear. This 5.5″ left-handed version of the Eighty-Eights is a classic haircutting shear “with a twist” that you simply have to try for yourself.
