The Crystal Elite is Juntetsu's high-hardness VG-10 cutting shear, heat-treated to 62-63 HRC — a full point above the 60-62 range most professional shears settle for. The higher hardness means a longer interval between sharpenings and a cleaner cut on fine hair, and the Crystal Elite tension system lets stylists dial in pivot resistance to the exact feel they prefer. Hand-finished in our Tokyo workshop across 124 steps, the Crystal Elite is built for stylists who value edge retention above everything else.
