Japanese Blade Technology
The Cobalt Apex features what Japanese scissor masters call the YL design—a specialised blade geometry that's prized for its exceptional cutting power and precision.
The foundation is the Hamaguri-ha (clam shell) convex edge, which provides extraordinary sharpness while maintaining structural integrity. What makes the Apex special is how Japanese craftsmen have enhanced this design with reinforced cutting power at the tip.
In traditional Japanese scissor making, this is known as "刃先のカット力" (Hasaki no katto-ryoku) or "cutting power at the blade tip"—a prized characteristic specifically for scissors used in precision work.
This specialised geometry creates an exceptionally powerful cutting action at the tip—the area most used for precision techniques and detailed work. The result is a scissors that cuts with authority through even the most resistant hair types.
Size Guide
5.5": Perfect for extreme detail work, precision cutting, and stylists with smaller hands. Ideal for pixies, short cuts, and intricate detailing.
6.0": Our most popular size. Balances control with efficiency for precision bobs, clean lines, and detailed point cutting.
6.5": Best for barbers and stylists working with thicker hair types. Excellent for precision cutting on longer styles and dense hair.
Professional Opinion
"I've been using the Cobalt Apex scissors in my Sydney salon for nearly 6 months. As someone who specialises in precision cutting and technical shapes, these have become my absolute go-to.
The first thing you notice is that incredible tip strength. When you're working on detailed sections or doing point cutting, these just bite through the hair with no resistance whatsoever. For clients with particularly thick or coarse hair, they're a complete game-changer.
What I appreciate most is the balance between precision and comfort. I can work all day on detailed cuts, and my hand doesn't suffer for it. That's quite rare with precision scissors—you usually sacrifice one for the other.
The VG-10 cobalt steel is genuinely impressive. Haven't needed to sharpen them once despite daily use in a busy salon. The tension system is brilliant too—stays exactly where you set it without drifting during intensive work.
I've found myself relying on the entire kit that comes with it. The texturising razor is particularly excellent for refining graduated bobs, and the carbon fibre comb has become my go-to for precision cuts.
I opted for the 6.0" size, which gives me the perfect balance of control and coverage. If your work demands absolute precision and clean lines, particularly on resistant hair types, these are well worth the investment. Not the cheapest scissors on the market, but for serious professionals, the performance more than justifies the price."

Best pair of scissors I’ve ever used. I highly recommend Juntetsu VG10 scissors. I love love love it.
Loverly and sharp. Nice and light.
My only problem is that half way through a cut i have to tighten them. They get loose. Not great. I can actually feel when they are getting loose.
I loved them, it's the first time I buy professional scissors and the truth is that they made my experience unique, they also sent me gifts and that detail with their customers is incredible, thank you very much.
Bought these to reduce the strain with the heavy pairs but I was worried it would be too light and not cut. Leave it to Japan to make something half the weight and twice the strength and cutting performance . Balance is top notch . Has made in japan so you known it’s real
Been using Juntetsu since 2019! Just replaced my 6.0” pair I dropped. You can totally get 5000 cuts from these. Japanese shears are the only choice. The best
I bought these two pairs of texturizing shears and they are such a deal!
Don’t spend $1000 when you can get these. Balanced, cut great and same steel as super expensive shears.
literally just finished my first full day with these and im in love 😍 was nervous about the 7 inch length coming from 5.5 but it actually makes sectioning so much faster! did 3 fades today and my hand doesn’t even hurt. Arrived fast too 👍
Im obsessed with these juntetsu scissors! These looks beautifully at my station. And they perform all my precision layering and I also do a lot of detailed bob work and these give me great control. 🌈
Still pretty new to the game but my mentor told me to invest in good shears early. These VG10s were def a budget stretch. but what a difference. Only been using them about 3 months but they're still crazy sharp. Gonna be my main shears for sure.
This is a beautiful set!
It comes with everything you need - from a texturizing razor to blade oil and resizing inserts.
The edge is super sharp, and cuts without any problem through dry and wet hair alike.
The design makes them super comfortable to hold, and grants you the ultimate control!
It also comes in a high quality case, ensuring that wherever you take this set - you won't need to worry about any damage.
The customer service is phenomenal too.
Super friendly, and genuine. They dont make you feel like answering to your questions is exhausting, and you can tell they care about their customers! I encourage you to ask them anything you want, they will always assist!
Really, 10 out of 10 product, with 10 out of 10 customer service!
Thank you so much for everything, will definitely purchase from you again and again!
Sits beautifully in my hands and due to the narrowed pointed blades it slices , point cuts and channel cuts fantastically .. prescission is effortless .. the blades are fabulously sharp and quiet .. ( not clanky) .. I was nervous as this wasn’t a range that I was aware of and also buying before you try can be a nightmare .. but with endless research .. I’m very happy I’ve chosen Juntetsu .. I will be needing another smaller pair and I will not hesitate now on the same brand. Love them
I ordered vg10 night hairdressing scissors they are feel great.
But most i want to feedback for the great service quick responding and helpful 👍
Thanks Japan Scissors
Great thinning scissors. Came with complimentary gift. Thank you Japan Scissors for your excellent customer support. I'll definitely buy from JS again and recommend them to anyone.
Saturday order received on Friday In SG. It was not good as I expected. Pulling hair while I thinning roots of hair and side cutting short as well. I'm not sure is it supposed to be like this. But what I can say it was not worth this price to get this quality. I was hoping it was more smooth while thinning. Already bought it what can I do.
