Kiru 6" Professional Hair Cutting Shears – Japanese ATS314 Steel Barber Scissors
Specs & Features
The Kiru 6" Professional Hair Cutting Shears are made with Japanese ATS314 stainless steel and a mirror-polished finish. A flat, flush-mounted tension screw gives the shear a clean profile and smooth, even cutting action. The offset handle and built-in finger rest keep your hand in a natural position through a full day of cuts. Slim, sharp blades handle everything from scissor-over-comb to detail work.
Why Barbers Choose Kiru Shears
- Japanese steel edge: Blades made from Japanese ATS314 stainless steel cut cleanly through hair instead of pushing it.
- Flat, flush tension screw: A low-profile ball-bearing screw with no raised knob. Nothing catches hair or combs, and the action stays smooth and even.
- Offset ergonomic handle: The shorter thumb ring keeps your thumb, wrist and elbow in a more relaxed position.
- Finger rest for control: A curved finger rest steadies your grip for precise point cutting and outlines.
- Mirror-polished finish: A high-polish stainless finish that looks premium and wipes clean between clients.
- All-around 6" length: Long enough for scissor-over-comb, short enough for control around the ears and neckline.

How to Care for Your Kiru Shears
- Wipe the blades clean and dry after every client.
- Add a drop of shear oil at the pivot once a day.
- Check the tension: hold the shear with the tip pointing up, open one blade about 45 degrees and let go. It should close about two-thirds of the way.
- Store in a case and never cut anything other than hair.
Frequently Asked Questions
What steel are Kiru shears made from?
Kiru shears use Japanese ATS314 stainless steel, a high-grade steel used in professional shears for its sharpness and edge retention.
Why a flat tension screw?
A flat, flush-mounted screw has no raised knob to catch hair or combs. It gives the shear a cleaner profile and keeps the cutting action smooth and consistent.
What is an offset handle?
On an offset handle, the thumb ring is shorter than the finger ring. That keeps your thumb, wrist and elbow in a more natural position, which helps during long days behind the chair.
How do I adjust the tension?
Turn the flat tension screw clockwise to tighten and counterclockwise to loosen, using a coin or tension key. Blades that are too tight wear faster, and blades that are too loose can fold hair instead of cutting it.
Are these shears left- or right-handed?
These are right-handed shears.
Can I pick them up in Orlando?
