Takano Canada’s Fitz collection provides the current range to compare. You may also see the spelling Fits in older directory links; the seller labels the shears Fitz. Use the model code as well as the name when confirming a pair.
Takano lists the AZ-50 by model code without specifying whether it is a cutter or thinner. The FO-35 is described as an offset, 35-tooth thinner. The AZ-55L is labelled left-handed, but its cutter or thinner role also needs confirmation. Check the exact pair’s intended use, blade length, handle and hand before ordering.
Takano describes the AZ-50 with Hitachi 440C metal and a Japan-made screw, and labels the AZ-55L material Hitachi SUS440C. These are details of the named listings. A Japanese component does not tell you where the complete shear was made, and the seller does not give one material specification for every model in the collection.
