Diane Redwood Extra Large Barber Shear 8.5” – Smooth Edge Control

Long blades, fewer passes.

The Diane Redwood Extra Large Barber Shear is an 8.5 inch shear with a smooth cutting edge and a silencing bumper, built for bulk removal and over-comb work. The extra length is the whole argument — a longer blade takes a wider section per cut, which is why barbers who do a lot of shear-over-comb reach for one. The bumper quiets the close and softens the impact on your thumb.

• More hair cut per pass on bulk work and over-comb technique.
• Straighter guidelines because a long blade spans a wider section in one cut.
• Quieter, softer close from the silencing bumper.
• Clean blunt lines from a smooth cutting edge.
• Efficient workflow on the services where a short shear means twice the passes.

Specifications

• Length: 8.5 inches
• Edge: Smooth
• Bumper: Silencing bumper fitted

Questions Barbers Ask

Is an 8.5 inch shear too big for general cutting?

For detail work, yes — it is not a point-cutting tool. It earns its place on bulk removal, scissor-over-comb and long straight lines, alongside a shorter shear for detail.

What does the silencing bumper do?

It cushions the blades as they close, which cuts the metallic click and reduces the shock transmitted into your thumb over thousands of cuts.

Does length change my technique?

It changes your hand position more than your technique. Give yourself a few services to adjust to the balance before judging it.

Why Barbers Love It

Barbers who cut a lot of longer hair or do heavy over-comb work end up with a long shear eventually. Once you have used one, going back to a 6 inch for bulk work feels like doing everything twice.
