Care and maintenance for oversized shears...

Oversized shears 6.5-8inches and longer are not precision/balanced tools. Oversized shears with a Japanese Convex configuration and soft steels are even more susceptible to damage. You have 2 inches of handle and 5 and more inches of blades. If for any reason the tension is not set correct the blades will open and close on an uneven plain causing the blades to bite into each other wearing out prematurely and nicking and pitting the inside edges. This is especially true when point cutting with loose tension and cutting too thick sections of hair.
Don’t throw your oversized shears onto the hard surface of the counter top.
Over time this will fatigue the blades causing them to lose the set.
LOOSE TENSION WILL CAUSE IMMEDIATE AND DESTRUCTIVE WEARING OF THE SHEARS!
