Kraft Pro has been in barbershop kits across India since 2012. In that time the scissors range has grown from a handful of models to one of the most complete professional lineups in the Indian market. If you haven't looked closely at what's actually in the range, this guide covers everything - entry-level to flagship - so you know exactly what you're buying and why it's built that way.
Why the Range Exists in Layers
Not every barber needs the same scissor. A stylist fresh out of training has different requirements from someone running their own salon and cutting 15 clients a day. Kraft Pro's range is structured deliberately across price points - from the Rs. 850 Barber Tool up to the Rs. 9,950 Crown - so that you're not paying for specifications you won't use, and you're not compromising on the ones you will.
What all Kraft Pro scissors share regardless of price: forged steel construction, convex or semi-convex edge geometry, and an ergonomic handle design that's been built with the Indian working stylist in mind.

Entry Level - The Barber Tool (Rs. 850)
The Barber Tool is where a lot of professional stylists start, and many never feel the need to leave it behind for everyday work. At Rs. 850, it punches well above its price - premium forged steel, convex edges that handle both dry and wet hair cleanly, and a build that holds up to daily use.
This is the scissor for barbering school, for building a kit on a budget, or for keeping a reliable backup pair at the station. The fact that professionals still reach for it alongside their premium scissors tells you something about how well it's made.

Mid-Range Precision - Chromline, F8, H, and Curve (Rs. 1,650–3,750)
This tier is where most working barbers live. The Chromline Premium and Chromline Thinning are the anchor - the cutting scissor and thinning scissor designed to work together as a set. The Chromline's convex edge is hand-finished, which gives it a sharpness out of the box that you'd expect to find on a more expensive pair.
The F8 and H are clean all-purpose scissors with different handle geometries - the H being slightly lighter and better suited to stylists who prefer a more neutral grip. The Curve introduces a blade profile designed specifically for point cutting and slide cutting, where a straight blade can feel limiting.

The SWB - When Aesthetics and Function Meet
The SWB stands apart visually from every other scissor in the range. The dual-coloured high-tech coating makes it immediately recognisable, and it's become something of a statement piece in client-facing work. But the SWB earns its place on performance, not looks.
The SMART SPIN screw system - Kraft Pro's own tension mechanism - gives the SWB an unusually consistent pivot feel across its lifetime. Semi-integrated convex edge geometry makes it well-suited for slice cutting, which requires a scissor that opens and closes smoothly with minimal resistance. It also comes with a matching SWB Thinning for a coordinated set.

The Blu Scissor Comb - A Hybrid Worth Knowing
The Blu Scissor Comb is one of the more distinctive products in the lineup - a scissor-comb hybrid at Rs. 3,250. It speeds up certain techniques by combining both tools in a single action, and it's popular in barbershops where efficiency of movement matters as much as precision. It's not the right tool for every job, but for the stylist who uses it, it becomes indispensable.
Thinning Scissors - Don't Skip This Category
Thinning scissors are the most undervalued tool in many kits. The Kraft Pro range includes three thinning options: the Chromline Thinning, the Popular Scissor SH Thinning, and the SWB Thinning. Each pairs with its corresponding cutting scissor to give you a coordinated set.
For working with thick or coarse Indian hair - which most professionals in the country deal with daily - a quality thinning scissor saves significant time on blending and bulk removal without creating the obvious 'thinning lines' that a poor-quality pair leaves behind.

How to Build Your Professional Kit
If you're building from scratch, here's a practical approach:
• Start with: Barber Tool (everyday workhorse) + Chromline Thinning (blending) • Step up with: Goldline or SWB as your primary precision scissor • Complete the kit: Crown for senior work, Katana for technique-specific cutting • Add the Blu Scissor Comb if speed of workflow is a priority
