Blade length
5.7, 6.2, 6.5, 7.0Measured from the tip to the finger-ring screw, which is how every length on this site is measured. Makers do not all measure the same way, so compare like with like before you judge a size.
Edge
ConvexThe outer face curves gently out to the cutting edge, so the blade slices through hair instead of pushing it. That is a different thing from the hollow ground on the inner face, the shallow relief that keeps the two blades meeting cleanly rather than rubbing flat. Every part of a scissor, named.

The full brief

The Prodigy Bundle is for the stylist whose day is wall-to-wall precision cutting and texturising — and who's tired of two tools that feel like strangers. It's our best-selling Prodigy scissor and its matched texturiser, the cutter forged from Japanese ATS-314, its matched texturiser in Japanese Cobalt Alloy — both hand-finished on the same bench, so cutting and blending share one tension, one glide, one feel. You stop thinking about the tools and just cut.

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.”

Every Prodigy Bundle includes

  • A matched Prodigy scissor and Prodigy texturiser
  • Your choice of screw colour — Black, Blue, Indigo, Pink, Pearl, Magenta, Silver, Black Diamante, Blue Diamante, Pink Diamante, Red Diamante
  • Both pieces hand-finished at Matt’s Lake Wendouree bench and inspected by Matt before they ship — no batch passes
  • Presentation case
  • Personal sizing guidance — call Bec on 0487 391 647
  • Free shipping Australia-wide
  • The ShearGenius Lifetime Manufacturing Warranty — covering defects in materials and workmanship

Made by a real Australian scissorsmith — not a marketing company reselling someone else’s steel. ShearGenius carries a 4.9-star average across 3,000+ verified reviews, with more than 40,000 scissors in stylists’ hands since 2007 and over 100,000 sharpened on the bench.

Own it from 10% today, then 20 easy weekly payments — zero interest with SlicePay.

Sizes 5.7″ · 6.2″ · 6.5″ · 7.0″ · Forged ATS-314 cutter, Japanese Cobalt Alloy texturiser · screw colours Black, Blue, Indigo, Pink, Pearl, Magenta, Silver, Black Diamante, Blue Diamante, Pink Diamante, Red Diamante · forged in Japan, hand-finished in Lake Wendouree, VIC.

ShearGenius — Australia’s most trusted scissorsmith since 2007. The scissors stylists actually recommend.

Whether you're one year in or thirty, the Prodigy Bundle is Matt's best-loved scissor and its matched blender — tuned on one bench to feel like a single instrument.

What that means at the chair

  • Offset ergonomic handle — your thumb stops doing all the work, so the last client of the day feels like the first
  • Forged ATS-314 at 60-62 HRC — the edge holds longer between services, so you're not fighting a dull blade mid-week
  • Dual bearing flat pivot — the tension stays where you set it, cut after cut
  • Cutter and texturiser finished on the same bench — swap between them mid-haircut without your hand recalibrating

Who it’s not for: If you rarely reach for a texturiser, this bundle isn't your buy — it earns its keep when you're cutting and blending back to back all day.

Steel, edge life and serviceability

The bundle matches two steels to two jobs: the Prodigy cutter in forged ATS-314 (60–62 HRC) the highest published hardness in the ShearGenius range at 60–62 HRC, and its texturiser in Japanese Cobalt Alloy (58 HRC) — tougher and more forgiving, which is exactly what a notched blending blade needs. Both are resharpenable for life and covered by the ShearGenius Lifetime Manufacturing Warranty. Steel homework: Cobalt vs VG10 vs ATS-314 — the steel comparison.

Why a real scissorsmith finishes every pair

Matt Grumley has cut hair since 1990 — and over one hundred thousand scissors across Matt’s bench tells you exactly what a working edge needs. Every ShearGenius scissor is forged in Japan from premium Japanese steel, then hand-finished at Matt’s bench in Lake Wendouree, Victoria: the Wendouree Finish — thirty checks before any scissor ships. No batch passes.

That’s why we can guarantee it for life.

Your tools could be tax-deductible

Professional scissors are tools of trade. If you run your own business with an ABN, eligible businesses may be able to deduct the purchase under the ATO’s instant asset write-off rules. Employed hairdressers can generally claim tools of trade too. Keep your receipt.

This is general information only and doesn’t consider your circumstances. Speak to your accountant or registered tax adviser about your eligibility.

Prodigy Bundle: Scissor + Texturiser — common questions

What size Prodigy Bundle: Scissor + Texturiser should I choose?

The Prodigy Bundle: Scissor + Texturiser is available in 5.7, 6.2, 6.5, 7.0. A shorter blade gives you more control for detail work, precision line work and cutting in the hand. A longer blade covers more hair in a single pass, which suits scissor-over-comb and faster sectioning. If you are between two sizes, take the shorter one for detail and the longer one for volume.

What steel is the Prodigy Bundle: Scissor + Texturiser made from?

The Prodigy Bundle: Scissor + Texturiser is made from Forged ATS-314 (cutter) · Cobalt Alloy (texturiser). The steel is forged by our specialist partner factories in Japan, and Matt Grumley hand-finishes, tensions and inspects every pair at his bench in Lake Wendouree, Victoria before it ships.
