Specialty Slide Cutting Blades
This is the C55 with a thumb swivel added for comfort. With the C55, the silencer is moved from the finger rings to the center of the handle. Note with the swivel added the rings become slightly farther apart, hence, this is offered in a 6.25’ shear for a slightly larger hand.

Sales & Service
Certified over 30 years ago at BW Boyd in Irvine California, I use the flat hone sharpening system. The flat hone system was developed by Japanese and is the most delicate system used to sharpen salon shears. It is important to remove the least amount of steel from your shear while also sharpening to your factory shear specifications. Together this gives your shear maximum performance, and also allows full life of your shear. Depending on the quality of the steel, Japanese salon shears can last up to 25 years if sharpened regularly and correctly by a trained specialist.
I can also give you a custom shear fitting to help you choose a new shear that will work best for you. I am currently offering these premium brand salon shears:
