The Emperor is the barber’s weapon — built for speed, power and the cut that never stops. A Japanese Cobalt Alloy convex edge set for clipper-over-comb, scissor-over-comb and dense, fast work that would fatigue a softer pair.
It drives through hair with weight behind the stroke, balanced for control across a full chair of clients. Tough, confident and quick — the scissor for the stylist or barber who cuts hard and cuts often.
From Matt Grumley, Australian scissorsmith: “The Emperor is built for volume. Strong steel, real convex edge — it powers through the busiest day on the chair.”

What that means at the chair
- Offset ergonomic handle — your thumb stops doing all the work on long clipper-over-comb days
- 56-58 HRC Cobalt Alloy — tough enough to power through dense, fast cutting without the edge folding early
- 6.0″ to 7.0″ lengths — the reach that makes scissor-over-comb feel like one motion instead of three
- Single bearing flat pivot — the action stays consistent from your first client to your last
Who it’s not for: If your day is mostly slow, detailed precision work rather than high-volume clipper-over-comb and scissor-over-comb cutting, the Emperor's long-blade weight is more scissor than you need.
