1878 Black Label Shears | Premium Grooming Scissors with Holster for Beards and Mustaches A great set of trimming scissors is a necessity: for this reason Beard & Bates has designed, developed and hand- crafted some of the best shears money can buy. Beard & Bates 1878 Black Label Shears Exquisite 5" Handcrafted, 19th Century Design inspired Grooming shearsPremium Hardened Japanese J2 420 SteelArtisan crafted Genuine Embossed Leather Holster / ScabbardAdjustable Tensioning System, Razor Sharp Convex Edge BladesLuxurious Black Anodized Finish with Handsome Brass Accents Read more Premium Japanese Steel and Professional Ergonomic Design The best modern steel is Japanese, and the 1878 Black Label Shears are crafted from the finest J2 420 Japanese steel and heat treated to Rockwell Hardness of 55-56. The scissors are 5" in total, so currently TSA approved for travel, and the blades are razor sharp convex edge blades, which are hollow ground to make precision cuts, and require no resharpening. The scissors are finished with black anodization and feature handsome bronze accents and adjustable tensioning. This quality level is on par with profession hair cutting scissors which cost five times as much. The professional ergonomic design enables you to put your ring finger through the hole, use the two indentations to rest your index and middle fingers, all while allowing your pinky to sit atop the brass finger rest. This provides one much more fluid control when trimming. Scissors with a Unique History Our 1878 Black Label Shears were inspired by classic 19th Century grooming scissors which were prized possessions carried by cavalry commanders who favored long and intimidating facial hair. Taking a cue from the fact that Cavalry soldiers' tools of the trade were carbines, pistols and sabers, we created a unique embossed genuine leather holster/scabbard to complement these fine shears. It had become historically common for Calvary forces to wear imposing facial hair, whether it be long mustaches or full beards, so as to appear more imposing to the enemy, and so specific appearance was an important "weapon." Weapon or not, your facial hair will benefit from this quality holstered set of shears. Handsome - Vintage Packaging Our handmade cardboard box is stylish and presents as an elegant and distinguished retro gift. Conscientious Packaging Our vintage packaging utilizes no foam or plastics. Tied in with Twine The 1878 Black Label Shears are tied in and anchored with twine: in the same fashion as in the 19th Century.
