The significance of the offset handle is it encourages a natural drop of the elbow which prompted a flatter wrist. As this design evolved, the thumb ring position was placed even closer to the pivot, dropping the elbow tighter to the side of the body, delivering a more anatomical hand position.
The Queen Offset Handle further enhances the thumb ring's capacity to alleviate thumb stress with a sculpted hollow on the ring where the thumb touches. This slight adjustment counters the haircutters' tendency to apply thumb pressure while cutting. The immediate outcome was the blades radial and directional movements were easily achieved without overextending the wrist. Ergonomic handles provide relief from work-related injuries and extends the expected accuracy of a scissors edge.
All directional blade movements originate with the upper hand (fingers), while the thumb remains the pivoting point. It’s a fact that when the thumb slips further and further into its ring, radial and directional movements of the blade diminish. Sadly, the anatomical benefits are lost when the fingers failed to hold the weight of the scissors permitting the thumb to slip into its ring.
This handle is highly polished with a medium size finger ring, the sculpted thumb ring, though medium in size feels spacious, allows the thumb to move freely without slipping. The permanent finger rest is flared to ensure the upper hand (fingers) balance the scissors weight which stabilizes the thumbs position.
These ever so slight features contribute to easing the multitude of movements the fingers, thumb, and wrist must endure while opening, closing, and positioning the blade. This exemplifies the importance of selecting a comfortable handle to verify your Upper Hand Control is always unfailing.
The Inazuma Queen Offset Handle, paired with the Razor Edge, Convex, or Micro-Serrated edge, is a remarkable matchup. There is also a choice of a 15T-25T-30T texture and sculpting edges.
This is the most effective method to purchase scissors, hand-pick a comfortable handle, select the right length, and choose your desired edge.
