Beard & Bates 1878 Black Label Shears Exquisite 5" Handcrafted, 19th Century Design inspired Grooming shears Premium Hardened Japanese J2 420 Steel Artisan crafted Genuine Embossed Leather Holster / Scabbard Adjustable Tensioning System, Razor Sharp Convex Edge Blades Luxurious Black Anodized Finish with Handsome Brass Accents Premium Japanese Steel and Professional Ergonomic Design The best modern steel is Japanese, and the 1878 Black Label Shears are crafted from the finest J2 420 Japanese steel and heat treated to Rockwell Hardness of 55-56. The scissors are 5" in total, so currently TSA approved for travel, and the blades are razor sharp convex edge blades, which are hollow ground to make precision cuts, and require no resharpening. The scissors are finished with black anodization and feature handsome bronze accents and adjustable tensioning. This quality level is on par with profession hair cutting scissors which cost five times as much. The professional ergonomic design enables you to put your ring finger through the hole, use the two indentations to rest your index and middle fingers, all while allowing your pinky to sit atop the brass finger rest. This provides one much more fluid control when trimming. Scissors with a Unique History Our 1878 Black Label Shears were inspired by classic 19th Century grooming scissors which were prized possessions carried by cavalry commanders who favored long and intimidating facial hair. Taking a cue from the fact that Cavalry soldiers' tools of the trade were carbines, pistols and sabers, we created a unique embossed genuine leather holster/scabbard to complement these fine shears. It had become historically common for Calvary forces to wear imposing facial hair, whether it be long mustaches or full beards, so as to appear more imposing to the enemy, and so specific appearance was an important "weapon." Weapon or not, your facial hair will benefit from this quality holstered set of shears. Handsome - Vintage Packaging Our handmade cardboard box is stylish and presents as an elegant and distinguished retro gift. Conscientious Packaging Our vintage packaging utilizes no foam or plastics. Tied in with Twine The 1878 Black Label Shears are tied in and anchored with twine: in the same fashion as in the 19th Century.

Review: Good scissors, even better brand - So the first pair of scissors I received was actually not the best quality. They were perfectly functional and sharp, but the brass fittings were heavily tarnished and looked pretty rough. The leather case also had a dimple in the seam. However, I emailed the company about the issues and David went above and beyond to correct it. He sent a new pair out to me very quickly, and this one is in much better shape. Still sharp and cuts beautifully, and the brass fittings look really good for the most part (there’s some light tarnishing around the ridged edges of the tensioning knob, and if it were my company I would be having a conversation with my manufacturer about the QC issues, but from an aesthetic standpoint I can live with it and I’m pretty ocd about these things). So even though it was a rough start, I believe in supporting companies that do right by their customers, and Beard & Bates has proven that they will. Given this experience and that I now have a good looking pair in my hands, I can wholeheartedly recommend these scissors. Review: Very fine tool - So amazing, never needs sharpening, very precise, good quality leather holder and lightweight for travel. ## Features - Exquisite 5" Handcrafted, 19th Century Design inspired Grooming shears - Premium Hardened Japanese J2 420 Steel - Genuine Embossed Leather Holster / Scabbard - Adjustable Tensioning System, Razor Sharp Convex Edge Blades - Black Anodized Finish with Handsome Brass Accents ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B075TPS7T7 | | Best Sellers Rank | #96,079 in Beauty & Personal Care ( See Top 100 in Beauty & Personal Care ) #113 in Hair Cutting Shears | | Blade Edge | Convex | | Blade Material | Alloy Steel | | Brand | Beard & Bates | | Brand Name | Beard & Bates | | Color | Brown | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 527 Reviews | | Finish Types | Anodized Finish,Black | | Hand Orientation | Ambidextrous | | Handle Material | Brass,Leather,Steel | | Item Dimensions L x W | 5.5"L x 0.5"W | | Manufacturer | Beard & Bates | | Manufacturer Part Number | BB1878S | | Material | Alloy Steel | | Material Type | Alloy Steel | | Model Number | BB1878S | | Number of Items | 1 | | Product Dimensions | 5.5"L x 0.5"W | | Product Style | Modern,Adjustable,Classic,Japanese | | Style | Modern,Adjustable,Classic,Japanese | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Blade Material:** Alloy Steel - **Brand:** Beard & Bates - **Color:** Brown - **Material:** Alloy Steel - **Product Dimensions:** 5.5"L x 0.5"W ## Images ![BEARD & BATES 1878 Black Label Shears | Premium Grooming Scissors with Holster for Beards and Mustaches - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91yzmIpESvL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good scissors, even better brand *by M***X on July 7, 2025* So the first pair of scissors I received was actually not the best quality. They were perfectly functional and sharp, but the brass fittings were heavily tarnished and looked pretty rough. The leather case also had a dimple in the seam.

Don't like how easy it is to cut, well you can tighten the hinge to make it more difficult so you can build up those manly forearms, need a little less tension while you build up to the top tension, well just turn that dial back and make them bounce open. the nice leather pouch makes them a great fashion accessory to carry around on your person as well! Seriously though, these are nice clippers and I can't recommend them enough. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.gr/products/47360997-beard-and-bates-1878-black-label-shears-premium-grooming-scissors](https://www.desertcart.gr/products/47360997-beard-and-bates-1878-black-label-shears-premium-grooming-scissors) --- *Product available on Desertcart Greece* *Store origin: GR* *Last updated: 2026-07-17*
