These shears combine:
This is a serious professional tool built around exceptional European steel and American craftsmanship, with uncompromising performance. We set out to build the best hair shears in the world with our "1776" line.
The 1776 Series is one of the most ambitious shears ever released by Saki Shears: premium powder steel forged in Spain, with every remaining step of the work — grinding, finishing, and assembly — completed in the USA. The 1776 Series compares to $1500+ powder steel shears made in Japan.
This combination is extremely rare in professional hair shears.
The 1776 Series was created to prove that a shear finished in America can stand at the very top of the category.
The 1776 Series starts with premium powder steel forged in Spain, home to one of the world's oldest and most respected blade-making traditions. From there, all remaining work is done in the USA: grinding, edge setting, finishing, and final assembly, under exacting quality control.
For stylists and barbers who want a professional tool with a real manufacturing story behind it, this is a different kind of shear.
Powder metallurgy produces an ultra-fine, uniform grain structure that takes a razor-keen convex edge and holds it far longer than conventional cast or forged stainless steel.
The edge resists wear through extended professional use, helping the shear maintain its sharpness day after day. The result is a premium cutting tool designed for stylists and barbers who want lasting performance, not a shear that quickly dulls under daily use.
The Saki Shears 1776 Series is being offered first through an early access release at $399.
Expected ship date: End of September.

Product Selection
Typically, women find scissors in the 5.5” to 6.0" range to be the most comfortable for their needs, whereas men often opt for slightly larger shears, favoring sizes between 6.0” and 6.5”. For tasks such as scissor over comb techniques and cutting longer hair styles, longer scissors, ranging from 6.5” to 7”, are recommended. However, the key consideration should always be comfort, ensuring the scissors feel right in your hand and match your cutting style and technique.
We take pride in crafting our hair shears from only premium grade stainless steel, including 440C, VG-10, ATS-314, ZA-18, and Damascus. These high-grade materials ensure each pair of shears is razor-sharp, durable, and built to last. For your convenience, the specific type of steel used in each set of shears is detailed on the product's detail page. This commitment to quality means our shears not only meet but exceed professional standards, providing you with precision tools for every cut.
