Since the most significant feature of these steel alloys is to give you a sharper edge that stays sharp longer, it doesn\u2019t make sense to put a coating on them that will dull the cutting edge prematurely.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Coated Shears Will Need Sharpening Sooner And More Often<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In short, titanium barber and salon shears will not maintain their sharpness nearly as long as non-titanium coated shears.\u00a0 In the end, it\u2019s your choice\u2026would you rather have some extra pizzazz, or a better, sharper, longer-lasting edge?<\/p>\n<p>All TopEdge Shears are made exclusively from Hitachi ATS 314 or VG-10 Gold <em>SuperSteel<\/em>. We decided that we would not sacrifice performance and precision for a splash of color. If you absolutely must have a titanium-coated shear, Kamisori, Joewell and Amazon have good selections.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":1801,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1800","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/topedgeshears.com\/website_09692745\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/titanium-coated-shears.png","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pa9WYy-t2","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/topedgeshears.com\/website_09692745\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1800","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/topedgeshears.com\/website_09692745\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/topedgeshears.com\/website_09692745\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/topedgeshears.com\/website_09692745\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/topedgeshears.com\/website_09692745\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1800"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/topedgeshears.com\/website_09692745\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1800\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2642,"href":"https:\/\/topedgeshears.com\/website_09692745\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1800\/revisions\/2642"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/topedgeshears.com\/website_09692745\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1801"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/topedgeshears.com\/website_09692745\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1800"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/topedgeshears.com\/website_09692745\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1800"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/topedgeshears.com\/website_09692745\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1800"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
