Convex edge, HRC 62, and a screw that stays where you set it

The VAK05 is the technical pair in ASAKI's Cobalt line. The edge is convex — the geometry that lets a scissor slide as well as cut — and the steel is hardened to HRC 62, which is where an edge starts holding through weeks of professional work rather than days.

Balance sits in the centre of the tool for control rather than speed alone, and the offset handles keep the wrist neutral over a long day. The tension screw uses a click system: you hear each step as you adjust, so you can return to the same setting instead of guessing. A built-in seal keeps dust and hair clippings out of the pivot — the thing that quietly ruins scissor action over time.

Why choose these scissors?

Convex cutting edge — cuts clean and works for slide
Rockwell hardness HRC 62
Balance in the centre for better control
Click system: audible steps when adjusting the screw, for precise, repeatable tension
Screw with built-in seal against dust and hair
Anti-allergenic matte finish
Offset handles
