Blend40 Elite Series

Substantial blending and weight removal with the control of an Elite finishing shear.

The Blend40 Elite removes approximately 40% of the hair it engages. It is designed to behave more like a cutting shear than a traditional fine-tooth thinner, making it a strong choice when you need to blend quickly, collapse excess weight or create a seamless fade.

Best for

• Scissor-over-comb and fades
• Removing weight in dense areas
• Blending short hair without a blunt line
• Point cutting and adding pronounced texture

6.0-inch right-handed design.

Matt’s real-world experience

I’ve used my Elite shears for years while filming FSE education, cutting clients and doing extensive mannequin work—including cutting through coarse mannequin hair. They still haven’t needed sharpening.

This is my personal experience, not a fixed sharpening interval. Edge life varies with cutting volume, technique, maintenance and the hair or materials being cut.
