Cutting Shears

Cutting shears for scissor-over-comb, fades, point work and detail. Compare length, edge and handle to find the cutter that suits your daily work.

More about Cutting Shears

Start with the job: longer cutters give more reach over the comb; shorter ones give you room for close detail. Edge and handle shape then narrow the choice for your grip and technique. This range covers roughly 5" to 7"+ sizes, with convex, semi-convex and bevelled edges. Offset and crane handles appear on some models. Compare the actual options on each product page, including handedness and what comes in a set.

Frequently asked

What size cutting shear for a barber?

Barber cutters here run mostly 6"–7". The 6.5" is the balanced pick — long enough for over-comb work, short enough for fades. Start there and adjust to your hand size and technique.

Convex or beveled edge?

Convex edges suit slice-style work — slide cuts, point cutting, blending. Beveled edges grip dry hair — scissor-over-comb, blunt cuts, thick hair. Many barbers carry one of each.

How should I think about budget for my main cutter?

There are working cutters at every price point here. Start inside the budget you have and compare steel grade, handle layout and sizes on the listings — the under-$200 range covers apprentices, and the upper grades are about the listed steel and finishing, not a different job.
