The Mastercut ConvexPro series is our most comprehensive collection of professional dog grooming scissors to date.  Made for petstylists that demand excellence in performance and durability.

Features :

Blending dog grooming scissors also known as blending shears, are an essential cutting tool for dog grooming.  Their purpose is to merge different lengths of hair, creating a smooth and seamless finish with more natural looking texture.  They are most commonly used by petstylists to disguise clipper lines and soften hard (blunt) edges created using straight cutting scissors.  This is achieved by their unique design which, combines straight and serrated blades with deep cut teeth.  The number of teeth and spacing can vary, according to blade length, which also determines the percentage of hair removal.

This blending scissor measures 7″ (18cm) in length with 50 individual teeth.  Each tooth has a small ‘V’ cut serration which, is designed to gather and control the hair for improved cutting efficiency. This scissor has fully convex hollow-ground blades for precision cutting and a ‘ball-bearing’ tension system for super smooth operation.  The handle style is ergonomic by design, made to enhance comfort, handling and control.  Finally, it has a titanium veneer for maximum durability and a more attractive appearance.

At the heart of this scissor is an intricate tension system designed to maintain smooth cutting performance.  It helps eliminate friction between the cutting blades and can also help reduce hand fatigue caused by repetitive motion.  It is an essential feature for any petstylist using scissors on a regular daily basis, helping the scissors glide effortlessly through coat with power and precision.

Advice :

To help prevent hand fatigue and the risk of injury, operate the scissor by placing your thumb and third (ring) finger through the holes provided.  If you have smaller hands, you may wish to consider fitting ‘inserts’ to accommodate slender fingers and thumbs.  To achieve the best finish, always remove hair in small amounts.  This will help you avoid mistakes and any stepped changes in hair length and texture.

Convex cutting blades are razor sharp but, also extremely delicate.  To avoid damaging them, regularly monitor blade tension and, adjust accordingly to avoid grinding the blades or catching teeth.  The pivot screw enables you to do this without tools, applying incremental pressure until moving parts are firm but not tight.  A few drops of oil near the pivot point will also help keep the blades running smooth.

Finally, never use convex scissors to cut dirty or greasy coats.  These can harbour fine grit particles and contaminates, which will damage and quickly dull the cutting blades.

Useful Tips :

• Use Mastercut Scissoring Spray to help improve your cutting technique.  This useful tool spray imparts light hold to stabilise the coat for more accurate cutting and blending.  It brushes out easily with no sticky residue, to reveal cleaner lines and contours.
• Use a storage wallet or case to protect your scissors when not in use.  Personal scissor collections can amount to hundreds (sometimes thousands) of pounds so, it’s wise and sensible to protect your investment.
