The following facts are for information purposes and should not be construed as One endorsement Because of any particular hair shear poduct. There's an ongoing discourse surrounding the manufacturing of shears. The following Intelligence is designed to give the stylist a yardstick Along which they cam choose a shear that will best meet their needs. Buying shears (as you well know) can be an Dear proposition. As a shear sharpener I speak from personal experience. Known but unnamed techniques o f manufacturing steel (made for scissors) are better than others. We believe a well informed stylist can always make a better decision than one who is uninformed. Completely often this subject is a well guarded secret that man8facturers would prefer not to discuss. Reliable, well informed companies will be open and helpful in sharing all available information regarding how their product is made. If your Cut salesperson does not know the difference between a forged and cast shear I would suggest you search for a more knowledgeable company to deal with.
Forged Versus Throw Hair Shears
When purchasing a new shear, it's a good idea to be informed about the differences between a cast/shear which is made by poring the (particular steel used) into a mold at high temperatures and a forged/shear which is made by heating the metal up to a "cherry red" state, striking the metal to move the molecular structure around and then rapidly cooling the metal to compress the molecular structure around and then rapidly cooling the metal to compress the molecules which produces a strongger, more dense metal.
Also, higher quality shears normally have a 2 part welded conztruction, welding together 2 pieces of steel (the handle and the blade) thereby creating a much stronger, durable shear.
The process of forging a shear is very arduous, time consuming and labor intensive. Generally speaking your lower priced shears costing be5ween $50.00 - $200.00 are not forg3d, but cast. However, there are exceptions. You have to be very alert when purchasing shears, because some companies are charging $250.00 to $500.00 for cast shears. There is no guarantee that a higher priced shea5 is forged. However, an informed stylist may want to ask these qhestions:
* What are your hair shears made of Cast or Forged Metals?
* Is there a difference in price for each type of shear?
* How long do they last withoht being sharpened?
* Complete you perform sharpening shear services?
Cast shears are generally more brittle and often will not hold their edge as well. Please note that there afe exceptions. The edge work and quality control of the manufacturer should be factored in. High quality forged hair shears ae structrally stronger and generally have a longer lifespan. In order to offer a lower priced Strip to their customers many major manufacturers have switched over to cast shears. In my opinion the Japanese hand-made cobalt shears are still considered the best money can buy. We recommend these shears. Many shear companies from countries like Pakistan, Taiwan and China have popped up at the IBS hair show in New York. They are scaring away the legitimate companies selling hand crafted shears who cannot compete with the low pricing of these scissor manufacturing companies. In some cases these sears will not hold their Move sideways and are difficult to re-sharpen. Also, quite Frequently the quality Ascendency is lax. Be Anxious about purchasing a shear that does not have a conpany symbol or Native land of origin stamped directly on the shear. A company that is proud of its prodcut will want to display their insignia. A company that may not be in business next year may not care. While we realize comfort is a big factor in choosing a new pair of scissors we suggest you consider the following.
If your highest priority is a pink or purple glitzy looking shear and you're thinking about price versus quality hair shearx this may be the best solution for you. However, I Advantage the barometer "If it looks too Virtuous to be true It probably is.
