We are a Manufacturer of all kinds of Scissors or Shears like Standard Scissors, Embroidery Scissors, Dressmakers or Taylor Scissors, Applique Scissors, Ambidextrous Scissors, Trauma Shears, Hair-Cutting Scissors and so on. Hair-cutting shears are scissors that are specifically designed for cutting hair. They are also known as barber shears, hairdressing, or hair shears. They range in size from about 5 to 7 inches (13 to 18 cm) long and commonly have an appendage, known as a finger brace or tang, attached to one of the finger rings. This gives the user additional control when cutting.

1. Finger ring – this is the place where you put your finger. Scissors have a ‘finger ring’ and a ‘thumb ring’.
2. Shaft – attaches the finger rings to the pivot. Sometimes these can be smooth or moulded.
3. Pivot Screw – holds the two scissors together.
4. Inner Blade – this is the side of the blades that face each other. Most scissors have hollow ground inner blades.
5. Blade – the sharp part of the shears. Edges are either convex (Japanese style) or bevelled (German style).
6. Ride Line – this is the smooth shiny line along the edge of the inner blade.
7. Point or Tip – this is where both blades meet when the scissor is closed against its stopper.
8. Spine – the thickest part of the blade, usually opposite the cutting edge but maybe down the centre of the blade in sword edge shears.
9. Outer Blade – the side of the blade that shapes the scissor’s edge.
10. Insert Rings – a plastic or rubber ring that fits inside the finger and thumb rings to make the holes smaller to custom fit a hand.
11. Stopper – a rubber or plastic insert that allows the scissor to close at the tip in the correct position.
12. Half Moon – this area is behind the pivot and is a smooth area where the blades move over each other.
13. Logo – indicates who made the shear and often includes model identification, size and steel used.
14. Finger Rest or Tang – the place where the pinky finger rests. Tangs are either fixed or removable if present at all.
