44/20 is a long-running US shear trademark whose current catalogue separates cutters and thinners by model.
The 44/20 company history traces the mark to Harry Gromberg in 1940; its Irvine contact and current model catalogue do not establish where each shear is manufactured.

The 44/20 company history traces the registered shear trademark to Harry Gromberg in 1940. It says he developed machinery for its TaperFine shears. That is useful brand history, though it does not establish the production country of the pair offered today. The company contact lists Economy Supply Company in Irvine, California. The US route reflects that company connection.
The company’s live cutting and thinning catalogues show many distinct listings. Choose the tool type first, then match the exact length, handle and tooth pattern to your work. A long-lived trademark does not tell you how a particular shear will fit your hand or cut your hair section. The older profile gave one broad stainless-steel and price description for the entire range; those are model and seller questions.
Ask the seller for the exact model code, blade length, handedness, current stock, country-of-origin marking, sharpening guidance and warranty terms. The company pages confirm a history and a US contact, but they do not verify current US manufacture or service coverage for every shear. This is a source-based directory profile, not a hands-on performance review. The US directory gives other comparison starting points.
The company history says Harry Gromberg created the registered trademark in 1940 and developed machinery for TaperFine shears.
The company contact is in Irvine, California. A US business address does not establish the factory country for each current model; request the unit’s origin marking.
