 Hey guys, welcome to Know Your Scissor episode 6, I believe. We are focused on one of my number ones. They're all my number ones. They're all my favorite children. I love the Mizutani Blacksmith Fit Scissor. Now, we've talked about Blacksmith Fit is really basically the way that Mizutani works is that's the handle, right? So this is the Blacksmith Fit handle. So if you look at the Blacksmith Fit puffin or a couple other scissors, you're going to see this handle. It's got the kind of signature triangular ring finger hole for cutting. So love that. Now here, let's break down the scissor. This is a cobalt steel scissor made up of a few different metals. It's got a really nice blade to it. I love the thickness. Let's get in here, Thad, and zoom, get up in there. Got it? So this scissor I love because it starts off fatter. You can see the width of the blade is pretty strong. So the reason I talk about that so much is because this is a 6.5 inch scissor. You could go 7 inches with this scissor. It's still strong. Now some blades are weaker at a 7 inch and you're not going to get as strong of a cut. So I'm looking for something to add to your collection. Now if you are a new student in school, this is a great scissor because it's affordable and it's also top quality scissor. But the price is great and that's what really makes it great for students. Now it also makes it great because the price point's good to add a second scissor to your collection. So if you're a student, I would go 5.56 inch for your main scissor. If you're adding it to your collection, I would go 6.57 inch to do some scissor over comb work, barbering work, things like that. This is the FSE edition. It's actually not even available anymore. You could get it custom made if you wanted. It takes about 60 days and it's a $50 upgrade. But they have it in regular steel. It's on freeslawneducation.com. Now the screw, I personally like a tension screw every once in a while. So because I always lose that thing that tightens the flat screw. So I like being able to adjust the tension whenever I want with just a twist of the tension screw. Also, there's a little hole here. That is for the oil. So Mizutani's really good about that. Being able to keep oil on your scissor. Man, I'm shaky today, whatever. So that's pretty much it. You can oil the scissor very easy. It comes in a lot of different finishes. You're going to pay $50 extra for that and it's going to take a little extra time. If you want the regular silver finish, that's what it's all about. This scissor is a $450 scissor on freeslawneducation.com. So check it out. Sometimes we have deals. That's pretty much it. It doesn't have a removable tang. It sits really comfortable in the hand, a little bit offset the finger hole. And like I said before, the blacksmith fit I love because it has this triangular divot so it sits snug in your fingers. You don't have to have that big bulky finger insert. You don't need that with this scissor because no matter whose finger it is, it fits really nice in that finger hole there. The tip, it's got a good tip to it. I wouldn't say that this is my number one choice for detail work, but this is your good all around pom-to-pom cutting, scissor over finger cutting, scissor over comb cutting. You can do pretty much everything with this. Also slide cutting, you can do that as well. It works well for dry cutting. So if you're looking for an all around workhorse scissor, go check out freeslawneducation.com. This week, we are going to have a deal on this scissor. So if you want this scissor, go on there and check it out and you can see the special offer. Also every scissor that you get will be coming with the Mizutani oil and also a scissor sleeve.
