**By DH Junior left-handed scissors** are made from Taiwanese forged 440A stainless steel, with a hardness of HRC 57–58. The Junior series offers the same sharpness as the DH Collection, with a blade cutting life of approximately 50% compared to DH scissors. These affordable left-handed scissors are ideal for beauty school students and junior hairstylists. The Rockwell hardness rating (HRC) indicates the hardness of the steel and influences the price of the scissors. Generally, the higher the HRC rating, the longer the scissors' lifespan and durability. 440A stainless steel has the lowest carbon content among the 440 stainless steel grades but offers excellent corrosion and stain resistance.
