“Scissors that inspire my sensibility”
A new wave of hair design is happening all over the world that crosses over barbers and hairdressers.
The cross-over style that interweaves the various hair designs is becoming the mainstream in the United States and we have quickly imported and incorporated this style. Whitney VerMeer, an educator who is active worldwide, has joined as a member in our research development this time and the “ACRO CROSSOVER” was completed.
An optimum pair scissors for the cross-over style was fabricated that manages both the “stable feeling” that is important for scissors over comb cut in men’s style and the “ease of use” that supports various cutting scenes. Additionally, “Nano Powder Metal” is used in the material and one can enjoy a powerful cut feeling.
The ｢ACRO CROSSOVER THINNING USUBA｣ is the first scissor line developed and designed. Crafted for the ultimate creative freedom, this is the definitive artists tool.

『I love the usability of it! I am currently using the scissor to blend through the transition area and to take out and lines. It is also great to soften to perimeter for a more "lived in" look. This is great for anyone growing out their hair or someone who doesn't want to look like they have a fresh haircut. I do like the weight and thinness of it as well!』

Effortless cutting of men’s hair as well
Ultra-smoothness due to precision ball bearing
The screw uses a double-sided shielded precision ball bearing.
Ultra-smoothness reduces the burden to hands even by men's cuts are frequently open and close.

Nano Powder Metal
The Nano Powder Metal, with blades at a 30–35° sharp cutting edge angle (image, above right), makes it easy to cut into hair. Many inexpensive or conventional haircutting scissors use blades featuring a less-sharp cutting edge angle, between 40° and 80°, with a greater curvature radius of the edge. These scissors, in addition to a worn and less-tough cutting edge (image, above left), cause the blades to become blunt.

Cross-section of hair
other maker
Nano Powder Metal
An electron microscopic cross-section image of hair that was cut using the Nano Powder Metal reveals a very smooth cut surface (image, above right). It also shows that hair can be cut almost in a circular shape without becoming “mashed.” When cut using scissors made by another company, however, hair is mashed and cut in an oval shape. A cross-section of the hair shows a rough cut surface （image, left）.

The Scienced Handles
Scientifically studied “gentle to your hand”
Many stylists suffer from carpal tunnel syndrome.
MIZUTANI hopes to provide scissors with the least burden as possible so that stylists can continue hair cutting indefinitely without worrying about carpal tunnel syndrome.

Measurement result of the muscular activity in opening and closing of the scissors
*CROSSOVER is found to have 30% less muscular activity compared to other products and to become less of a burden.

- Nano Powder Metal USUBA
Our Nano Powder Metal®, made with the new HIP manufacturing method (Hot Isostatic Pressing), is steel fabricated from a fine powder at the nano level. The uniform-grained powder is hardened with high temperature and pressure tempering, essentially eliminating all filler and impurities, and this method is used in precision manufacturing items like Blu-ray disc molds, where high levels of purity are required. At MIZUTANI, in order to create the ideal hair-cutting scissors, we have conducted our own proprietary research with this material, and created scissors with blades that combine strength with a long cutting life and the ultimate sharpness.
- BALL BEARING
These metal ball bearings are small, high precision items produced by a Japanese manufacturer. With superior anti-rust properties compared to foreign-made products, they have a high level of durability. By drastically reducing friction around the screws, they not only ensure smooth opening and closing of the scissors, lessening burdens on the hands, but also protect the edge from damage, contributing to long cutting life.
- DISK DRIVER
Compact and easy to turn, this is a flat type driver for UFO screws. This screwdriver is included with all scissors with the mark shown.
