Materials & Design
Forged from the finest high-carbon Japanese stainless steel, the Kime boasts a brushed finish that marries industrial strength with refined aesthetics. Its thicker blade profile—optimized for pushing through dense, dry hair—pairs with a gentle bevel at the tip for versatile wet performance, ensuring every snip is as clean as it is controlled. The offset handle, inspired by ergonomic icons, features a rounded thumb ring and streamlined tang for natural pivot and reduced fatigue, turning complex cuts into intuitive artistry. Add the countersunk tension dial and shock-absorbing pivot bumper, and you’ve got a tool that’s as thoughtful in design as it is ferocious in function.
Performance in Action
Veteran cutters swear by the Kime’s chameleon-like prowess: it slices wet hair with the delicacy of a feather, then pivots to dry texturizing without hesitation, leaving no trace of drag on even the curliest, coarsest canvases. Imagine sculpting lived-in waves on sun-bleached highlights or fading stubborn beards—each technique flows seamlessly, with the blade’s radius enabling peel-free slides that elevate your work from solid to stunning. Lightweight yet commanding, it handles marathon shifts with ease with “game-changing” versatility. Whether upgrading from basic blades or fine-tuning your arsenal, the Kime delivers gallery-ready results that whisper precision and roar reliability.
