The Elite is for the stylist whose day is precision work — clean sections, exact tips, cuts that have to land first time. If you want a light, balanced pair with a decisive convex bite that turns careful work into easy work, this is the one I'd put in your hand.
Light in the hand, exact at the tip, and smooth all the way through the stroke — it’s the scissor that turns careful work into easy work. The pair you trust when the cut has to land.
From Matt Grumley, Australian scissorsmith: “The Elite is precision you can feel. I finish that edge until it bites clean and holds — nothing wasted.”

What that means at the chair
- ATS-314 convex edge — the bite stays clean and decisive deep into the shift, not just out of the box
- Offset ergonomic handle — your thumb stops doing all the work on long days behind the chair
- Single bearing flat pivot — a smooth, even stroke from heel to tip, every section
- 5.5 inch length — sized for detail and precision work close to the head, not bulk removal
Who it’s not for: The Elite comes in one length — 5.5 inch — so if your day leans on long-blade work like scissor-over-comb, this isn't the pair; it's built for precision cutting and clean sectioning.
