Sharplines "First Star" Delta 6.5" Barber Scissor.

Sharpline 100% Guaranteed made in Japan.

History:

How "First Star" came about, in 2001 Sharpline decided to introduce a new range of hairdressing scissors for seniors and apprentices on a budget. The challenge was to reduce the buying cost while maintaining the Sharpline quality standards. These days many famous Japanese brands are having some of their models partially made by factories outside of Japan. Sharpline was introduced to one such factory in Taiwan that had been taught to make scissors by the famous Fuji scissor factory. In fact this particular factory was exporting all their scissors to Japan as OEM brands.

Sharpline developed the "First Star" range using Japanese Yamamura blade blanks and all Japanese parts to be partially finished in Taiwan. Sharpline buying in large quantities helps keep the price of the "First Star" range about half the retail price of some comparable quality totally Japanese made scissors.

Australian & New Zealand hairdressers now enjoy the fine quality of this "First Star" range at reasonable prices.
