TGS-70B

The TGS-70B is a cutting scissor from the Talent Series range, forged by the Togiya manufacture. Sword blade, traditional bamboo handle, bearing-implant screw.

This length is made for precision work: scissor-over-finger cutting, outlines, detail around the face, point cutting. It is the most common format in salons, and usually the right choice for a first Japanese pair.

The blade

The sabre blade, narrower and slightly curved, delivers an extremely precise tip: the profile of choice for detail work, outlines and finishing around the face.

In the hand

Handles are polished and adjusted by hand so the pair sits naturally in the hand, with no pressure point. The screw is mounted on a washer and set with a key: tension should be checked weekly.

This model is set up for right-handed users. Available sizes: 7″, 0″.

Forged in Inuyama

The Talent Series range comes out of the Togiya manufacture, which controls its whole chain: steel selection, forging, hardening, grinding, then hand sharpening and assembly. That end-to-end control explains the value of Togiya's “Made in Japan”.

Care and lifespan

Wipe the blades at the end of each day, add a drop of oil on the screw and edge, store the pair in its case. Once a year, hand it to a sharpener trained on Japanese blades — never to a standard grinding wheel, which would destroy the convex geometry in a single pass.
