If your days are back-to-back clients and half of them want scissor-over-comb, this is the set I'd hand you. The Emperor bundle is a long-blade cutter and its matched thinner, finished together on my bench so they feel like one tool — for the barber or high-volume stylist who wants to stop switching gears between cutting and blending and just keep moving.
The Emperor Bundle is the barber’s complete weapon — cut and blend, built for volume. An Emperor scissor and matched thinner for the stylist or barber who works fast and often. Both forged from Japanese Cobalt Alloy and hand-finished on the same bench, so cutting and texturising share the same tension, the same glide, the same feel — switch between them without ever breaking your rhythm.
A true all-day all-rounder — a real workhorse. This is the set barbers and stylists reach for from the first client to the last: blunt cutting, scissor-over-comb, point cutting and chipping, slide cutting, plus clean channelling and blending with the matched thinner. One balanced kit that handles everything a full day throws at it and never leaves your hand.
This is the kit you build a whole day around: matched, balanced, and tuned to feel like one hand from your first client to your last. And as a set, it’s a real saving over buying the pieces separately.
From Matt Grumley, Australian scissorsmith: “I build my bundles as a matched set on purpose. When your cutter and your blender come off the same bench, your hands stop thinking about the tool and start thinking about the hair.”

What that means at the chair
- Offset ergonomic handle — your thumb stops doing all the work on a full day of clients
- 6.0″ to 7.0″ long blades — the reach you want for scissor-over-comb and fast blunt cutting
- Single bearing flat pivot — tension stays consistent, so cutter and thinner glide the same all day
- Cobalt Alloy at 58 HRC — tough enough to take high-volume work without babying the edge
Who it’s not for: If most of your work is slow, detailed precision cutting where a shorter blade lives in your hand, a long-blade volume kit like this isn't the tool for the job.
