Ever notice the cuts that wear you out aren't the fiddly ones — they're the long ones? Big sections, scissor-over-comb, slide cutting down a length of dry hair, where a short blade means twice the strokes and a dragging edge means twice the effort. That's exactly the job I built the Slider for: a longer convex-edge blade that glides through a section in one clean pass, so long-hair days and over-comb blending stop feeling like work.
It feels balanced and smooth across the full stroke, gliding rather than dragging, so long-hair work and over-comb blending stay effortless. The scissor that makes reach feel easy.
From Matt Grumley, Australian scissorsmith: “The Slider is for the long, clean stroke. I set that edge to glide — scissor-over-comb has never felt smoother.”

What that means at the chair
- Longer blade — one clean pass through a big section instead of two or three short bites
- Convex Cobalt Alloy edge — it glides through dry hair on a slide cut instead of pushing or dragging it
- Offset ergonomic handle — your thumb and wrist aren't doing all the work by the last client of the day
- Single bearing flat pivot — a smooth, consistent stroke from heel to tip, every open and close
Who it’s not for: If most of your day is short, tight detail work close to the head rather than long sections, over-comb blending or slide cutting, a longer blade like the Slider isn't the right tool for the job.
