Common questions

How is a crane handle different from an offset handle?

Both put the thumb ring closer to the pivot. A crane handle is also bent at a sharper angle from the blades, so your hand and elbow can sit lower. Some models mix both features.

Will a crane handle suit my hand?

The only way to know is how it feels through a full open and close. If you're used to offset or straight, give yourself time to adjust.

What sizes do the crane-handle scissors come in?

Both Yasaka models here come in 5.5" and 6.0", right-handed.
