5" Kamisori Black Diamond Shears

The 5" Black Diamond Shears are just one of the highly innovative, cleverly constructed professional shears from in the Titanium Collection from Kamisori. Kamisori is the maker of some of the finest haircutting instruments available, made from a select range of high quality metals and unique craftmanship. Hugely popular among platform artists and Hollywood hairdressers alike, the 5" Kamisori Black Diamond shears are certainly no exception.

The quality of the 5" Black Diamond begins with it's V-10 cobalt steel construction. V10 is a top quality Japanese steel consisting of a high carbon content, vanadium, cobalt, chromium, and molybdenum. Known for their centuries of experience in the art of sword making, the Japanese technique to craft the metal for these shears consists of folding the steel onto itself a minimum of 15 times to create more than 5,000 layers of steel. This ancient technique increases the strength of the blade without sacrificing flexibility, which gives that "knive through butter" feeling when the blades cross on each pass through any type of hair. The Kamisori Black Diamond shear has a very solid feel to it as well, mostly due to it's Rockwell Hardness rating of 60. The hardness rating essentially determines how easy it is to dent the steel using a diamond tip. Generally speaking, the higher the rating of steel constructed shears, the harder and heavier the shears will be. Finally, the 5" Black Diamond is finished off with a black titanium coating which:

An additional added benefit of the titanium coating is that as the coating wears away, the titanium layer forms micro-serrations that can only be seen under a microscope, which give the shear it's added cutting ability. The black titanium coating gives these shears their signature look, which will impress your clients and add to your professional image. Every seasoned stylists knows that it is all these little details that provide more value to your client, in turn allowing you to demand a higher price for the cutting services you offer.

The Black Diamond is created with a spring-click tension, crane handle and an ergonomic design, crafted for heavy use with salon professionals in mind. An ergonomic design means the stylists can work continuously, for hours on end without feeling difficulty or fatigue. This means booking more appointments which in turns equates to more money, so the average stylists will be able to get their return on investment of these shears rather quickly. The "spring-click" tension gives the user much more control and accuracy when adjusting the tension, while the crane handle places the shoulder and elbow in a more comfortable and relaxed position. The Black Diamond is considered better for cutting more hair in a single pass rather than for swift cutting.

Finally, each pair of this beautifully constructed shear undergoes a series of 93 different careful steps to ensure a light-weight, ergonomic and perfectly balanced shear for fast, smooth precision cutting. The Black Diamond shear also comes in 5 1/2" and 6" lengths, with a matching texturizer shear available as well. If you're looking for a solid, professional salon-quality shear that offers better control and long durability among moderately priced shears (under $400 range), consider the 5" Black Diamond from Kamisori, a "diamond in the rough"...
