Karma

Karma is a house line from Scissors Master, a Quebec specialty retailer and sharpener trading as 9370-3080 Quebec Inc out of Saint-Jérôme. This is a familiar pattern in the trade: a shop that sells and services scissors all day eventually puts its name on a range built to its own preferences. There is no separate Karma factory or marketing site; the line lives on the Scissors Master storefront, and it is also carried by Novyco, another Quebec retailer, so it circulates a little beyond a single shop.

That retailer-brand origin is worth being candid about. The upside is a seller who sharpens and knows the product intimately, which usually means good after-sales support. The trade-off is the absence of independent manufacturer documentation, so you are taking the shop’s word on construction.

Range and steel

The catalogue runs across several named models, the Libra, Yugo, Leroy, Kazu, and Kaya among them, covering cutting shears plus thinning and texturising variants, left-handed builds, and swivel-thumb designs for stylists managing wrist strain. Karma describes its blades simply as high-quality Japanese steel, “acier japonais de haute qualité,” without naming a grade. Pricing sits in the mid-range, roughly $200 to $400 depending on model and size.

For current specs, handle options, and sizing, the Karma collection on the Scissors Master storefront is the authoritative source. You can compare it with other brand profiles in the directory.
