Masuta is OBU’s Master collection. OBU lists its Minarai range for apprentices and names Masuta models by the work they do. The brand gives a Port Melbourne contact address; that Australian business address does not establish where each scissor is made.
Choose by the work
The Creator is OBU’s general cutting pair, offered in 5.5 and 6 inch lengths with an offset handle and convex blades. OBU specifies a 61–63 HRC score for that model and describes its material as Masuta Japanese steel; the maker page does not give a named alloy grade. The Outlaw is the 6 inch slicing option, while The Lover is a 28-tooth thinning model. The collection also lists The Sage, The Butler, barber options, left-hand Creator and Lover versions, and multi-pair sets. Check stock on the selected product page: a listed model or set is not necessarily available today.
Where to check the exact pair
Start with OBU’s Masuta collection for model specifications and 365 Salon Group’s OBU listings for another Australian route. A seller using the Masuta name in Canada lists FS 107, Libra and Tafina rather than OBU’s named collection; do not assume those are the same shears. Compare model identifiers before using an outside listing. See the Australia directory for other makers and ranges.
