Juntetsu: Heritage Japanese Craftsmanship
Juntetsu represents nearly a century of Japanese scissor-making excellence. Founded in 1925 in Tokyo, this prestigious brand continues to produce some of the world's finest hairdressing and barbering tools using traditional hand-crafting methods alongside modern metallurgical innovations.
As the exclusive Australian distributor for authentic Juntetsu shears, Japan Scissors Australia provides direct access to these exceptional implements at pricing previously unavailable to professionals in our region. Our flagship collection features genuinely handcrafted models from Juntetsu's Tokyo workshop, where master craftsmen with decades of experience forge, assemble and finish each pair individually.
Exceptional Materials & Manufacturing
True Juntetsu craftsmanship begins with superior materials. Our authentic made-in-Japan scissors feature either premium VG10 cobalt steel (renowned for its exceptional edge retention) or professional-grade 440C Japanese steel—both hardened to precise HRC ratings that balance sharpness with durability.
What truly distinguishes genuine Juntetsu shears is their meticulous hand-finishing process. Unlike mass-produced alternatives, each authentic Japanese-made model undergoes a 67-step crafting process, with master scissorsmiths hand-honing the signature convex edge that delivers the legendary "effortless cut" professionals immediately recognise.
For stylists seeking Japanese engineering excellence at different price points, our collection also includes professional-grade models featuring Japanese steel precision and Juntetsu's design principles. This range ensures Juntetsu quality is accessible to professionals at every career stage.
The Convex Edge Advantage
The hallmark of authentic Juntetsu scissors is their meticulously hand-finished convex edge—a cutting surface derived from traditional Japanese sword-making techniques. Unlike factory-beveled edges, this painstakingly crafted surface:
- Creates a microscopically thin cutting zone that slices rather than crushes hair
- Requires only the lightest touch to cut cleanly through even the most resistant hair
- Significantly reduces hand fatigue during extended cutting sessions
- Maintains sharpness substantially longer than conventional edges
- Produces exceptionally clean, precise cutting lines without pushing hair away
This convex edge technology is particularly evident in authentic Tokyo-crafted models, where traditional hand-honing creates an edge quality that simply cannot be replicated through mass production.
Ergonomic Excellence for Professional Comfort
Juntetsu's design philosophy centers on creating tools that function as natural extensions of the stylist's hand. Key ergonomic innovations include:
- Multiple Handle Configurations - Choose from semi-offset, fully offset, or traditional designs to match your cutting technique
- Rotating Thumb System - Available on select models for reduced wrist strain during technical cutting
- Finger Rest Options - Removable and adjustable for customised comfort
- Precision-Balanced Design - Each pair individually weighted for optimal balance point
- Hollow-Ground Technology - Reduces weight while maintaining structural integrity
For professionals with specific requirements, Juntetsu offers true left-handed models (not merely reversed handles) and specialised designs for particular cutting disciplines.

- Precision Cutting Scissors - Available in sizes from 5.5" to 7.0" for techniques from detailed work to powerful cutting
