Product description

The MYTHOS DAMAST 36 combines the unique beauty of Damascus steel with the functionality of thinning scissors. The characteristic grain, which tells its own story in each piece, is created by layering seven layers of the finest steel plates. The 36 teeth produce a coarser cut, which is ideal for effective volume reduction and striking textural effects.

The Damascus steel used combines powder steel and high-performance steel, which combines extreme cutting durability with exceptional toughness. The special serration with precisely ground tooth necks prevents the hair from slipping during cutting and ensures even, controllable results.

The high-quality 6-part screw system made of stainless steel reduces the effort required for cutting by up to 40%. The screw system is optimally adjusted at the factory and should not be changed. After prolonged use of the scissors, readjustment is possible.

With its characteristic Offset and 0.5 cm offset thumb hole, the MYTHOS DAMAST allows forDAMAST natural, joint-friendly hand position. The rounded, backward-sloping finger rest provides a secure grip when cutting, even during longer thinning sessions.

Hand cleans high-quality Hairdressing scissors

Durability that needs to be maintained.

TONDOE PREMIUM hair scissors are as Long-lasting they are high-quality. With up to 1.5 million cuts without resharpening thanks to Conblade® technology. To maintain sharpness and function, we recommend:

Cut only hair
Clean after each use with a soft cloth
Targeted lubrication in the screw area with special oil
Store in a dry place in the original packaging.
Maintenance with TONDEO

Note: The blade is particularly sensitive. Even the smallest dust particles can damage the blade. For this reason, the scissors are carefully demagnetized in our factory so that they do not attract tiny particles. Avoid contact with magnets.

CONBLADE is at the heart of TONDEO premium scissors:

Extremely concave side: Lowest possible cutting angle for razor-sharp edges
Extremely convex outer blade: 4 times more stable than conventional shapes
Selective contact with the cutting surfaces: Maximum sharpness with minimal friction
45° immersion angle during grinding: precision with ±0.02 mm deviation
40-50% reduced sliding resistance: Drastically lower force requirement

Messergebnisse: Schließkraft: 10-25 Gramm; Lebensdauer: 1,5 Millionen nachgewiesene Schneidzyklen; 3-fache Schnitthaltigkeit im Vergleich zu herkömmlichen Scheren; Präzisionsschnitte <0,1mm Abweichung; 20-25% gleichmäßigere Kraftverteilung über die Klinge

TONDEO the first and only scissor manufacturer worldwide that mills each scissor blade entirely from a single piece of steel:

Advantages over forging or stamping processes:

No weld seams or joints
No structural weaknesses
Steel is heated only once (during hardening).
Homogeneous structure is maintained
Precise, contour-accurate blank
25% less waste
Material residues can be recycled

Handcrafted high-quality Hairdressing scissors

All TONDEO are Solingen entirely in Solingen :

Your questions. Our answers.

What is CONBLADE and what advantages does it offer?

The patented CONBLADE combines an extremely hollow (concave) ground cutting edge with an extremely convex blade. This design ensures:

Lowest possible cutting angle with razor-sharp cutting edge
3 times longer cutting life compared to conventional shears
40-50% reduction in sliding resistance thanks to optimized geometry
Präzisionsschnitte <0,1mm mit minimaler Abweichung
1.5 million cutting cycles proven service life

Why does TONDEO use CNC milling TONDEO instead of forging?

TONDEO the only scissors manufacturer worldwide that mills both scissor blades entirely from a single piece of steel:

No weld seams = no structural weak points
Consistent steel quality across the entire scissors
Gentle process without repeated heating/cooling
25% less waste thanks to precise manufacturing
Optimal coordination of the scissor basins with each other

How many cuts does a hairdresser make every day?

1,540,000 closing movements per year (700 movements × 10 haircuts × 220 working days). With this enormous strain, ergonomics are crucial for health.

What types of steel does TONDEO use?

Niolox steel (patented)

The steel: Developed in Germany, with alloying elements niobium and vanadium and increased chromium content. Hardness HRC 60-62 with 50-60 J/cm².

What does the BESS scale value mean?

The BESS value(Brubaker Edge Sharpness Scale) is a standardized measurement for quantitatively determining cutting edge sharpness. The measurement is based on the principle of cutting tests under defined loads: a calibrated test medium is exposed to the cutting edge while the force required in grams (g) to completely cut through the test material is measured. The scale is inversely proportional to sharpness: a lower BESS value indicates greater cutting edge sharpness, as less force is required for the cutting process. By using a standardized, certified test medium under controlled conditions, the BESS method ensures reproducible and comparable measurement results across different blades and manufacturers. For comparison: an ultra-sharp razor blade has a BESS value of approx. 50, while high-quality cutlery has a value of around 300.

What does the BORG-Scala value mean?

The BORG CR-10 scale for tool ergonomics Studies on fabric scissors showed a reduction in perceived effort from traditional designs (higher BORG values) to ergonomic designs through principles such as "bend the tool, not the wrist." Calibration studies with hand dynamometers confirm the correlation between objective force measurements and subjective BORG ratings. It is assessed whether the hand, elbow, or shoulder must be twisted or whether work can be performed in a natural hand position. Feather-light tools have a BORG value of 1, high-quality precision tools have a value of 2-4, and tools that cause fatigue or are even harmful to health are rated 7-10.
