More about Black & Matte Shears

A black finish can be the final detail in a kit, but it is not the cutting specification. This collection brings together coated cutters, thinners and sets. Compare the blade, handle and selected size first; then choose the finish you want to use at your station. Keep coated tools clean and away from abrasives.

Similar black listings can contain different builds. Mina Matte Black offers a convex single cutter and a separately listed flat-edge pair. Timeless keeps a convex cutter beside its fixed thinner, while Ichiro Matte Black has separate single, pair and Master selections. Read the family and full selected option before comparing the finish.

Mina Matte Black: single or pair?

The similarly named listings describe different cutter edges.

Read the Timeless pair

Choose the cutter length while the six-inch thinner stays fixed.

Frequently asked

Does a black finish change the edge?

The finish is a surface feature. Compare the listed steel, edge and handle to understand the working shear, and use a soft cloth to care for the coating.
