About this shear
The Matte Black Offset pairs Takefu VG-10 steel — the forged variant from Fukui's historic Takefu blade district — with a frost-matte black coating that reduces glare under strong salon lighting. The hardness sits at the 60-62 HRC professional standard, and the offset handle anchors precision cutting through extended shifts. Hand-finished in our Tokyo workshop across 124 steps, this is the matte-finished take on Juntetsu's core VG-10 offset platform.

Questions
Does the matte black coating affect cutting performance?
No. The frost matte black coating is a surface treatment that does not alter the blade's VG-10 steel properties or convex edge geometry. It reduces glare and adds a visual distinction but has no effect on sharpness or edge retention.
Is the matte black coating durable?
Coatings do wear over time with daily use, particularly at contact points. This is cosmetic and does not affect cutting performance. The underlying VG-10 steel is fully protected regardless of coating condition.
