If most of your day is fades, scissor-over-comb and clipper-over-comb, the Phoenix is the shear I'd hand you. It's a 7-inch Cobalt Alloy convex blade — more reach, more hair moved per stroke — for the barber who wants the over-comb work to stop feeling like a grind and start feeling like a glide.
It carries its weight at the pivot for control, not fatigue, so a full day of fades and over-comb blending stays smooth and sharp. The shear that makes high-volume barbering feel effortless.
From Matt Grumley, Australian scissorsmith: “The Phoenix is the barber’s long blade. I set it for reach and a clean glide — clipper-over-comb all day, no fight.”

What that means at the chair
- 7-inch blade — you cover more of the comb per stroke, so over-comb blending gets done in fewer passes
- Offset ergonomic handle — your thumb isn't doing all the work, so a full day of fades doesn't end with a sore hand
- Convex edge — the clean glide you want for scissor-over-comb, no push or fold through fine blending
- Weight carried at the pivot — control stays in your fingers instead of fatigue creeping into your wrist
Who it’s not for: If you're mostly doing detailed precision work close to the head rather than long-stroke, high-volume barbering, a 7-inch blade is more scissor than you need.
