Specs, sizing, an honest comparison and every question answered — so you can buy with total confidence.
Choose what matters most and we’ll point you to the right Master Precision — with live stock.
Every figure below is exactly what you receive. No rounding up, no marketing metallurgy.
The decisions that add up to a noticeably better feel in the hand.
A wider base for strength and control through the cut, transitioning to a refined tip for detailed work.
A keyed ball-bearing system that sits nearly flush, giving clearance to work tight against the comb without a bulky dial in the way.
Offset handle, solid curved tang and contoured thumb for a natural grip and the freedom to work from virtually any angle.
Engineered for consistent performance through the demands of high-volume cutting.
Not sure which to choose? Here’s the honest difference, side by side.

The bits people worry about, answered before you ask.
Every Quartered Steels shear carries a lifetime warranty on parts. It covers manufacturing — not wear or damage from everyday use.
Dispatched quickly from Belfast with free UK delivery. Your full statutory return rights apply on every order.
Professional materials and a serviceable design mean a shear you sharpen and maintain for years, not one you replace.
Still deciding? These are the ones we hear most.
Most high-volume stylists choose the 6.0″ for everyday cutting; the 5.5″ suits detail and precision work. A true left-hand build is available in 5.5″.
Yes — the 5.5″ Left Hand is a true left-handed build with the blades and handle reversed, not a relabelled right-hander.
A lifetime warranty on parts against manufacturing faults. It does not cover wear, corrosion or damage caused by everyday use, dropping or improper sharpening.
Wipe dry after every use and oil the pivot regularly. When the edge eventually softens, our sharpening service returns it to a factory finish.
