Where to buy PHX-Japan
PHX-Japan is the scissor line of PHX-HASAMI Phoenix Co., Ltd., a Tokyo maker founded in 2001 and based in the Asakusabashi neighbourhood of Taito-ku. Everything is made in Japan, and the PHX series is sold both at home and abroad. As small Tokyo workshops go, this one has done the sensible thing for reaching stylists overseas: it keeps English pages on its site.
A serious thinning catalogue
The thing worth noticing about PHX-Japan is how deep the thinning side runs. Where many brands sell one all-purpose blender, PHX builds separate texture-control models for different removal rates: roughly 20 to 30 percent, 30 to 40 percent, and 40 to 50 percent. That tiering is a very Japanese habit, and it pays off for a stylist who wants to take out a soft amount near the crown and a heavier amount through the mid-lengths without faking it on a single tool. The cutters cover slide, chop, fine and vertical work, plus general volume control, so a stylist who switches techniques through one appointment is well served.
Steel is listed as Japanese stainless with a cobalt option, which is the standard pairing for handcrafted shears at this level. Pricing sits in the mid-range, about $200 to $400 a pair.
Where to find it
Outside the brand’s own site, PHX-Japan turns up through Shear World and Tricut, which carry the catalogue for buyers who would rather order from a familiar retailer than direct from Tokyo. Documentation on exact specs by model is limited, so check those listings or the maker site for current details. If you have used these shears and can add to the record, reach us through the contact page.
