Mizutani Acro Z1 Cobalt Professional Hair Cutting Scissor

Mizutani Z1 Cobalt hair cutting scissor features Nano Steel technology to give you one of the highest quality of steel called Micro Powder Metal Steel which is actually know as Sintered Steel. This method uses high pressure to inject the mixture of alloys into the forging. It Consists of smallest particles, and using this method the manufacturer can obtain a very dense, and the highest quality steel free from impurities. A very sharp shear with a long lasting blade with a convex Hamaguri edge. Anatomical (Bent thumb ring for comfort) the Z1 shear can point cut, and cut with power with both small and large sections, and can be used as a go to shear for the bulk of your work. The only difference between the Z1 and Z2 models is the top blade on the Z2 is designed with a striking saber blade but the Z1 will have a softer feel and cut and the Z2 with have a slight feel of power. The Mizutani Z1 scissor has a disk bearing tension system to ensure smooth cutting, and to reduce friction this allow the user to cut any section with less thumb pressure. The Tips or Points on both Mizutani Z1 and Z2 are so close there is no difference, as it would be your preference.A Tension key stick if included with each shear. One of Mizutani’s Newest and Most Popular Shears. Our Highest Recommendation.

FAQ's

Which shears are best for me?

Which steel sheer quality is better, those made in Japan, Korea, or Germany?

Japan has the highest standards for workmanship and quality with steels in hair cutting shears.

Many shears made in Korea which can save some costs on labor, and still maintain good quality.

Use steels from Japan. Look for Japanese Steel.

What metals are used in my scissor?

YIron, Carbon, Nickel, and various other alloys like cobalt, and manganese. When using stainless Steel Chromium is added to make steel Stainless, and prevent rust. Handles are welding to the blades and not constructed using the same quality steels. This is not necessary and would add to the cost.

What are the different categories of stainless steel used to produce hair cutting scissors?

Steels are important to a point in a scissor, and when combined with high-quality machining and design you have a beautiful cutting shear ready to provide excellent performance for many years or career depending on the quality of service the shear receives.

You should never purchase a scissor with a stainless steel rating of less than 440C. This is an industry-standard for stainless steel in hair cutting shears. There are a few entry-level shears made using 410, and 420.

Cobalt Alloy Steel is abrasion resistant and will give increased blade retention, and a longer last edge. These shears can also be machined to a finer edge and have the steel hold the edge the result of adding Cobalt Alloy.

They often cost more due to the increased labor costs of finishing and polishing and extra abrasives used in the finishing process.

Cobalt does have some categories and some companies use there own. They include Cobalt Alloy, ATS-314, V-1, V-10 and now they are using a powered Sintered Cobalt Alloy that is expensive but has excellent performance, and with the use of the sintered powered steel process has great quality control when producing it.

Is there a scissor that never needs to be sharpened?

This is fiction, and simply not true. There are high-quality steels that can hold an edge longer than others with the use of Cobalt Alloys but the longest we can see a shear used everyday cutting hair to last is about 18-24 months and most need to be serviced in about 12 months.

This depends some on the use of the shear how many cuts per day.

The wear resistance when cutting strands of hair is the same as cutting equal diameter strands of copper..! Hair is Keratinized Protein, soft and pliable with strong resistance to cutting.
