About

About the HHVL Mamba

The Hattori Hanzo Shears HHVL Mamba is a natural wet/dry hybrid left-handed shear we developed with high-carbon dry cutting steel. We call it a “hybrid shear” because while it has outstanding dry cutting properties, it has the blade design of a narrow, precision wet cutting shear. The Mamba truly is the best of both worlds. With a handle reminiscent of classic Sassoon handles, the HHVL is constructed with a slight offset and a minor rounded thumb to increase comfort and control. A small whip tang is a strategic part of the design with the freestyle cutter in mind. The tang allows the user to manipulate the better position of the shear in their hands. The left-hand configured Mamba comes in two sizes: 5.5” and 6.0” inches.

As the Mamba is one of our most versatile shears, we also provide this in a right-handed configuration. Right-handed barbers and stylists can find that orientation listed as the Hattori Hanzo Shears HHV.
