ABOVE gives an Irvine, California business contact and sells hair shears through its own catalogue. This directory’s USA grouping describes the business base. It does not establish a US factory: the maker’s Ergo Signature sheet identifies that named model’s origin as PRC.
The Ergo Signature lists an offset handle, 5.5, 6.0, 6.5 and 7.0-inch options and model codes beginning C10. Its material field says “TAKEFU VG10/ZDF AG16 Cobalt (or equivalent)”. That alternative wording is important: a buyer should ask which material and marking apply to the exact unit instead of treating the marketing phrase “100% cobalt” as a measured elemental composition or a uniform grade. The seller should also confirm the hand and tension parts for the code offered.
ABOVE’s catalogue separates cutters, texturizers and a left-hand category. Choose a cutter for line work or a thinner by its tooth layout and intended removal; an offset, swivel or coated handle describes fit, not guaranteed comfort or cutting performance.
Ask for the model code, current origin/steel declaration on its box or sheet, trial/return terms and who services the blades. Retailer links below are leads, not proof of current authorisation or stock. The steel guide gives context for material claims without ranking finished shears by alloy alone.
No. The company contact is in Irvine, California, while the Ergo Signature sheet lists its own origin as PRC.
The Ergo Signature sheet says “TAKEFU VG10/ZDF AG16 Cobalt (or equivalent).” That wording does not certify one fixed alloy for every unit or model.
Yes. The maker has a left-hand hair-shear category. Confirm the specific hand and model code rather than treating a swivel handle as a left-hand version.
