Hoshi J-Steel Shears
Hoshi Shears – where Japanese steel meets stellar precision. We forge elite barber shears for those who demand perfection in every cut
Crafted in Sakai, Japan – the legendary home of samurai swords – each pair of Hoshi shears undergoes 100 hours of hand-forging using VG-10 Super Steel with Damascus cladding for warrior-grade durability and zero-friction pivot systems with butterfly tension control

Hoshi Professional Hair Shears
Optimized for fade, texture, and detail work
Every pair of Hoshi shears is meticulously forged by master artisans, ensuring perfect balance, smooth tension, and a featherlight feel. The high-carbon steel blades stay sharper longer, reducing strain on your hands during long styling sessions. The ergonomic design minimizes fatigue, allowing for seamless, controlled cuts – essential for stylists who demand perfection with every snip
While others use bulk steel, we fold VG-10 like samurai swords - 100 layers creating microscopic serrations that stay sharp 3x longer. Test it: our shears will outlast theirs through 5 sharpenings
With proper care, every 8-12 months. Try the rice paper test: if they don’t slice damp paper effortlessly, it’s time. Our masters resharpen them for free
Every Hoshi blade endures 32 stages of hand-forging in Sakai—the city where shoguns’ swords were born. We use VG-10 steel (like surgical tools) and test each pair for 200,000 cuts. Cheap scissors snap hairs—ours glide through them
Our LEFT-HAND series mirrors every angle - even the Damascus patterns flow backwards. Fun fact: 23% of Sakai's master sharpeners are lefties - we honor their craft
More teeth ≠ better blending. Our 28-tooth STAR EDGE creates perfect weight removal through spaced micro-serration - proven by Tokyo Barber Institute's 2024 study
Look for three marks: the star engraving near the pivot, 440Hz ring test, registration card with your master number. Fakes fail all three
