The Young Genius Left-Handed Bundle is the complete set, built genuinely left. A true left-handed Young Genius scissor and matched thinner — finally, a kit that fits a left hand properly. 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
- Genuine left-handed offset ergonomic handle — the blades close the way your left hand naturally squeezes, instead of fighting a converted right-hander.
- Japanese Cobalt Alloy at 58 HRC — a forgiving hardness that holds a working edge without being brittle, so it shrugs off the everyday knocks of a busy first few years.
- Single bearing flat pivot — smooth, consistent tension between the cutter and the 30-tooth thinner, so both pieces feel like one tool when you swap mid-cut.
- 5.5 inch length — the all-round salon size that suits most hands and most everyday cutting work.
Who it’s not for: If you're right-handed, or you're a leftie who's spent years cutting comfortably on right-handed scissors and doesn't want to retrain, this genuinely left-handed set isn't for you.
The left-handed apprentice set — right first time
For a left-handed apprentice this bundle answers the whole first-kit question in one go: a cutter and thinner both built genuinely left, matched off one bench, sharing one tension and one feel — $350 for the set, a real saving on the pieces separately. The properties are professional (Cobalt Alloy at 58 HRC, convex cutting edge, left-built offset ergonomic handles), so neither piece is a placeholder: this is the set that's still doing its job years after the apprenticeship ends. Both covered by the Lifetime Manufacturing Warranty.
Want a single piece first? The left-handed scissor and left-handed thinner are $250 each. See the full Young Genius Apprentice Range or read the apprentice buying guide before you decide.
