![]() Some of the key ingredients in quality steel are carbon (which should be around 1% of the finished product) molybdenum (also for hardness as well as to resist corrosion) manganese (for durability and strength) chromium (for heat and corrosion resistance) vanadium (for strength and balance) plus cobalt and titanium (for hardness and to reduce weight). The steel itself is a blend of alloys, elements and ores. More ingredients and process for the steel production adds quality and cost. Hardness will also influence how long the scissors are likely to stay sharp, as well as overall durability. ![]() Hardness influences how strong the blade edges will be and, therefore, how sharp they can get. But the bigger difference is the quality of the steel, as well as the craftsmanship. To look at them, it’s easy to see that the blades are thinner and there are those little handles off the bows (that’s scissor speak for the finger holes) that make the scissors easier to hold steady. A top quality pair of hair shears can cost you several thousand dollars.
