• The "Silk-Slide" Technique:The extreme sharpness of VG10 steel allows for flawless slide-cutting without snagging or damaging the hair cuticle. Don't "chop"; let the blade’s own edge and weight glide through the hair. It’s the ultimate way to showcase the tool's premium performance.
• Preserving the Rose Gold Finish:Salon chemicals (color, perm solutions) and disinfectants can be corrosive to the Rose Gold coating. Never leave chemical residues on the blades. After contact with treated hair, wipe immediately with a damp cloth (distilled water) followed by a dry one.
• Opal Pivot Calibration:The ornate screw is a high-precision component. Check the tension weekly; because VG10 is so hard, excessive tension can cause micro-abrasions on the pivot surface. Aim for a "butter-smooth" feel that requires zero effort.
• Jewelry-Grade Storage:Never leave your shears open on the workstation. While 63 HRC steel is incredibly hard, it is also more brittle—a small knock against a metal comb or clip can cause micro-chipping. Always close them and rest them on a soft mat or inside their dedicated case.

1. Custom Tension:The opal-inlay screw is a precision instrument. Adjust the tension so that the blades glide smoothly over each other with minimal resistance, but avoid leaving them too loose.
   • The Test:Hold the shears horizontally and release the handle; if it closes about one-third of the way, you’ve hit the sweet spot for both edge life and performance.
2. Ergonomic Grip:The offset handle and curved finger rest allow your hand to relax. Insert only the tip of your thumb into the ring to direct the power of the 63 HRC steel with minimal effort.
3. Cutting Techniques:Thanks to its 5.5” size and the extreme sharpness of the VG10 steel, these shears are brilliant for high-precision point-cutting and creating razor-sharp blunt lines.
4. Cleaning Routine:Use a soft cloth to wipe the blades after every haircut. Because of the dense structure of VG10 steel, moisture and hair fragments need to be cleared away to maintain its pristine state.
5. Oiling:At the end of your shift, apply a single drop of oil to the pivot area. Open and close the shears a few times to distribute the lubricant evenly.
