Why I reach for these: This scissor is purpose-built for precision and comfort when point cutting or detailing on dry hair. The crane-shaped handle fits naturally into the hand, lowering the shoulder and elbow during use and reducing overall strain. If a stylist tells Matt they rarely cut a straight line and spend most of their time point cutting, this is the scissor he puts in their hand without hesitation.
Specialist, not a generalist: While it excels at point cutting and dry work, it’s not ideal as a general cutter or slicing scissor. The pronounced curve in the crane handle means your wrist and body need to compensate if used for techniques outside its specialty.
Dry cutting focus: Though named a “dry cutter,” it’s not limited to dry use alone. Its real strength shows when customizing and refining dry haircuts. If I were to rename this tool, I’d call it the Yasaka Point and Dry Cutter. Too late, I already have.
