While many competitors rely on simple sharp edges, the Arkand Series uses a T-land hone and micro-polished edge. This is critical for tool life in stainless steel and Inconel. A sharp edge will micro-chip immediately under high heat; the Arkand’s polished, rounded edge deflects heat into the chip (not the tool) and distributes stress evenly.
When hard milling replaces EDM (Electrical Discharge Machining), the Arkand Series excels. Use it for finishing cores and cavities without graphite electrodes.
The SCS Tool Platinum Arkand Series is a statement piece. It tells the world that you take your work seriously. It’s the kind of equipment that gets passed down to the next generation, not thrown in the scrap bin.
If you are looking to upgrade your box this year, this is the series to beat.

SCS Tool Platinum Arkand Series refers to a high-end line of professional hair-cutting scissors and shears. These tools are engineered specifically for precision styling, combining durable materials with ergonomic designs to reduce hand fatigue during long salon shifts. 💎 Key Features Platinum-Grade Steel:
Crafted from high-carbon Japanese stainless steel (often 440C or VG10), which provides a razor-sharp edge and exceptional corrosion resistance. Arkand Convex Edge:
Features a specialized "Arkand" blade grind—a ultra-sharp convex edge that allows for effortless "slide cutting" and "point cutting" without pulling the hair. Ball Bearing Pivot:
Equipped with a smooth ball bearing tension system to ensure consistent, friction-free movement. Ergonomic Offset Handle: While many competitors rely on simple sharp edges,
Designed with a slight curve to align with the natural position of the hand, protecting the stylist from repetitive strain injuries (RSI) or carpal tunnel. ✂️ Series Highlights Durability:
The platinum coating adds an extra layer of protection against chemical styling products. Versatility:
Available in multiple sizes (typically 5.5" to 7.0") to suit different techniques, from detailed fringe work to bulk removal. Quiet Operation:
Integrated silencers prevent the metal-on-metal "clicking" sound, providing a more peaceful experience for both the stylist and the client. Have you tried the SCS Platinum Arkand Series yet
The Platinum coating is slick, but if you recut chips in aluminum or stainless, you will fail. Use high-pressure through-spindle coolant (minimum 1,000 PSI) if available. For dry machining, use an air blast to clear the chips; the heat should leave via the chip, not the tool.
To understand the value of the SCS Tool Platinum Arkand Series, we must look at the numbers. Independent shop tests show dramatic improvements over previous-generation tools.
| Material (60 HRC) | Standard End Mill | SCS Platinum Arkand | Improvement | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Cutting Speed (Vc) | 80 m/min | 140 m/min | +75% | | Feed per Tooth (Fz) | 0.002 in | 0.004 in | +100% | | Tool Life (Linear feet) | 150 ft | 450 ft | +200% | | Surface Finish (Ra) | 0.8 µm | 0.3 µm | 62% smoother |
Real-World Testimonial: A mold shop in Michigan replaced a Japanese-brand end mill with a 1/2" 6-flute SCS Tool Platinum Arkand Series end mill for finishing P-20 hardened mold steel. The cycle time dropped from 45 minutes to 22 minutes, and the tool completed 18 molds before needing a regrind—compared to just 5 molds with the previous tool.
