Named AMA cutters and thinners remain listed; match the seller's exact model and terms.
AMA's current rights holder, operating base and the factory country of each model have not been confirmed.
Named AMA cutters and thinners are listed by UK sellers. Check a particular pair's material, hand, tooth count and dispatch status; one model's seller claims do not apply to the full range.

AMA is easier to assess by a named pair than by an old range description. Chris & Sons lists AMA cutters, while Salon Supplies lists a Tech set containing a cutter and a 32-tooth thinner. Compare the exact blade type, size and hand you need; the presence of one thinner does not describe every AMA model.
The Fusion 4.5-inch cutter listing calls that item a polished stainless alloy and says Joewell made it for AMA. Those are seller statements for Fusion 4.5, not evidence of a range-wide maker or Japanese steel grade. The Tech set is described separately as stainless steel. The exact material and factory country of another pair should be checked on its own listing or with the seller.
There is also a company-history distinction worth keeping clear. Salon Supplies groups AMA among Betterton scissors, while the G.E. BETTERTON AND COMPANY LIMITED filing history records final Gazette dissolution on 20 January 2026. This does not establish who now holds AMA rights or mean seller stock disappeared. The neutral Other directory group avoids treating a historic UK distributor address as AMA’s present headquarters or factory origin.
A current seller lists named AMA cutters, and Salon Supplies lists an AMA Tech cutter-and-thinner set. Check stock and terms for the exact item.
Salon Supplies groups AMA with Betterton scissors. The G.E. BETTERTON AND COMPANY LIMITED filing history records the final Gazette dissolution on 20 January 2026. Neither source identifies AMA’s present rights holder or proves the line has closed.
The Fusion 4.5-inch seller describes its cutter as a polished stainless alloy made by Joewell for AMA. That is a seller claim about this model, not proof for every AMA pair. The Tech set listing describes stainless steel without a Japanese grade.
The AMA Tech set includes a 32-tooth thinner. Check the selected set’s size, stock and dispatch terms before buying.
