This scissor sits at the top of the Juntetsu cutting range, pairing a premium cobalt steel with a strong, tapered sword-profile blade built for stylists who cut with power and want an edge that stays keen between sharpening visits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eATS-314 cobalt steel\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eATS-314 is a cobalt-rich Japanese stainless steel valued for its hardness and long edge retention, hardened here to around 62-63 HRC. The higher hardness lets the blade take and hold an exceptionally sharp convex edge, which is why this steel sits above standard stainless options in the range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSword profile blade\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe blade is ground to a slim, tapered sword profile that stays strong through the spine. That combination of a fine edge and a rigid body suits powerful cutting techniques, including deep slice cutting, slide cutting and dry cutting, where a thinner blade would flex.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBall-bearing tension\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Juntetsu ball-bearing adjustment screw gives a smooth open-and-close action and holds its setting through repeated use, so the tension you set stays consistent through the day. Steady tension is what keeps a convex edge cutting cleanly rather than folding or pushing hair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSizing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis model runs slightly longer in the blade than the number suggests. The 5.75 inch handles like a 6.0 inch in the hand, and the 6.75 inch handles like a 7.0 inch, so choose the size by the feel you are used to. The 5.75 inch suits all-round salon cutting, while the 6.75 inch gives extra reach and leverage for scissor-over-comb and barbering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"margin-left: 0; border-bottom: 2px solid #000; list-style-type: none; font-weight: bold; padding-left: 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-family: Poppins; font-size: 20px;\"\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat do the sizes mean, and why \"feels like\"?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe measurement is the actual blade length. Because of the blade profile and balance, the 5.75 inch feels like a 6.0 inch in use and the 6.75 inch feels like a 7.0 inch, so pick the size by the feel you already cut with.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow is ATS-314 different from VG-10?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eATS-314 carries more cobalt and is hardened a little higher, so it holds a sharp edge longer. It sits at the premium end of the range, above the VG-10 models.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this scissor available for left-handed stylists?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis model is built as a right-handed scissor.
