Company Profile

Since 1976, Edward Geib devoted his entire life to the development and improvement of scissors for hair cutting.

Edward Geib received initial extensive training from a professional German cutlerer. He gained further valuable knowledge and experience from a manufacturer of surgical instruments and significant training from nine major Japanese scissors companies.

To obtain the finest materials and latest methods, Edward Geib continually visits steel companies, heat treatment facilities, forging plants, and manufacturing facilities in the USA and around the world. One major improvement resulting from these tours was the introduction of ball bearing pivot mechanisms. Many of our product lines include models with Ball Bearing pivots. This state-of-the-art design incorporates the ball bearing assembly press-fitted into the pivot hole. The ball bearing restricts motion at the pivot to a single plane eliminating annoying “wobble” such as when the pivot hole normally wears due to motion against the pivot pin. The bearings provide minimal friction at the pivot point so scissoring action becomes nearly effortless..

The latest state-of-the-art materials, technology, and methods are used to manufacture our top quality shears. Our craftsmen combine modern materials and technology with their precision skills and personal care and pride to yield an exceptional product. The results are our fine shears which are as pleasing to look at as they are comfortable to use. Each pair is finely polished and edges are carefully honed and trued to deliver long, faithful, and reliable service.
