Why does Rockwell hardness 62 matter?

Rockwell hardness is the industry standard measure of a steel's resistance to deformation — the higher the number, the harder the steel and the better the edge retention. At 62 HRC, the Matakki Vintage sits at the harder end of the professional scissor range, meaning the cutting edge maintains its sharpness significantly longer between sharpenings than lower-hardness steel. The trade-off at higher hardness levels is increased brittleness, which is why Takefu VG-10 is the preferred steel — it achieves exceptional hardness while retaining enough toughness to withstand the daily demands of professional use without chipping.

Why invest in a 20-25 year scissor?

The cost per year of a scissor with a 20 to 25 year lifespan works out significantly lower than repeatedly replacing cheaper scissors. The Matakki Vintage Emerald is the kind of scissor that becomes a career tool — something you develop a feel for over years of use that performs consistently from the first cut to the last.
