Review title is Fantastic Value for Japanese Steel [SEP] This pair of regular straight edge shears with thinning shears is the best value for the money anywhere.  Japanese steel , hollow ground, you simply cannot beat this price, I do hair, I also sharpen shears, the finish of these shears is pretty good , I bought just to see how good they are and I am not disappointed considering the price. If your short on cash these are a fantastic value or even just a back up or spare set. The case is what you would expect as a secondary item to the deal, the comb is functional, the polishing cloth is good.  I like the thinning shears a little better than the straight edge shear. I am just blown away by the value.
