Ascari Laguna Seca VG10 Cobalt 6″ Scissors

Ascari Japan – Laguna Seca model

size: 6″

“The most delicately working scissors you’ve ever used”

Working with these scissors gives incredible pleasure and satisfaction with every cut thanks to the unprecedented smoothness of the screw mechanism and the perfect fit and ergonomics of all structural elements.

The Ascari Japan Laguna Seca scissors are a unique tool designed for the most demanding barbers who demand the highest quality, precision, and comfort. These scissors combine the Japanese pursuit of perfection with modern technological solutions, making them among the most effective and beautiful tools available on the market.

Exceptional ergonomics, the innovative G-force screw mechanism , and excellent VG10 Cobalt steel  are the elements that define this model.

The most important features of Laguna Seca scissors :

1. Innovative screw mechanism with disc and G-force bearings

o Provides incredible smooth blade movement.

o The mechanism based on discs and bearings minimizes friction, which translates into gentle operation and precise cutting.

o The movement of the scissors is as smooth as the flow of water, making every cut easy and comfortable, regardless of the thickness of the hair.

2. High quality VG10 Cobalt steel :

o Japanese VG10 Cobalt steel  is known for its excellent sharpness and durability.

• Hardness (HRC): 60–63

• Tensile strength and impact strength: very high, thanks to cobalt and vanadium

• Corrosion resistance: excellent – ideal for tools exposed to moisture

• Blade durability: excellent sharpness retention with regular sharpening

Chemical composition

• Carbon (C): 0.9–1.05%

• Chromium (Cr): 14.5–15.5% – responsible for corrosion resistance

• Molybdenum (Mo): 0.7–1.2% – increases strength and wear resistance

• Vanadium (V): 0.8–1.2% – creates hard carbides, improves blade durability

• Cobalt (Co): 0.2–0.5% – increases the hardenability and impact strength of steel

• Manganese (Mn) and Sieros (S): trace amounts

The addition of cobalt distinguishes VG10 from pure VG10 – it provides even better hardenability and impact strength, which translates into greater resistance of the blade to deformation.

3. Offset ergonomics:

o Specially designed offset reduces hand and wrist fatigue during long-term work.

o The shape of the handles has been designed to fit naturally to the hand, ensuring comfort even during intensive use.

4. Thin, sharp, precise blades:

o The blades of Laguna Seca scissors are extremely thin and precise, allowing you to make both overall and detail cuts.

o Convex blades further eliminate friction because the contact point is only the cutting edge

o Perfect for precise cuts and finishes where every millimeter counts.

5. Matte graphite brushed coating + primer:

o The scissors are covered with an elegant, matte graphite coating, which not only gives them a stylish look but also increases their scratch resistance.

o The graphite coating highlights the modern design of the scissors, giving them a unique character.

o A layer of primer under the coating protects against chipping

6. Versatility :

o Laguna Seca are scissors designed to work at every stage of shearing, both for general cuts and precise details.

o They provide the so-called perfect, smooth cuts, achieved thanks to the sharpness of the blades, the fit of the elements, and the fluidity of the G-Force screw
