About

About the HHCWS Karu Swivel

The HHCWS is one of the most recent additions to the Hattori Hanzo Shears high-carbon shear family. Designed with the barber in mind, the shear features a reduced blade radius, making it easier to cut straight lines and minimize pushing. As a high-carbon shear, it can be used for both wet and dry cutting. It also features a thicker blade with a sword-like ridge that helps maximize cutting through even the densest hair types. Available in 6.0”, 6.5” and 7.0″ lengths, the HHCWS is ideal for techniques like shear-over-comb, blunt cutting, and deep point cutting. The Karu Swivel was designed with an ergonomic handle and offset swivel thumb to give the user more control and comfort while cutting. With the ability to tackle anything thrown its way, the HHCWS will make short work of significant transformations and always performs when time is of the essence.
