The Firebird Bundle is the all-day workhorse kit — tough, balanced, relentless. A Firebird scissor and matched thinner, built to power through the busiest chairs. 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.
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, so hour eight feels a lot more like hour one
- Cobalt Alloy at 56-58 HRC — a tough, forgiving edge that shrugs off busy-chair punishment instead of chipping under it
- Single bearing flat pivot — the tension stays where you set it, so the scissor and thinner keep the exact same feel all day
- Matched cutter and thinner finished on the same bench — swap between cutting and texturising without your hand having to recalibrate
Who it’s not for: If you're after a light precision scissor for slow, detail-heavy work rather than pace and volume, the Firebird Bundle isn't the pick — it's built for busy chairs and full days.
