During a haircut, scissor blades open and close up to 1000 times. JAGUAR scissors are manufactured according to strict quality standards to make cutting an activity as relaxing as possible for the hairdresser: For production, JAGUAR uses state-of-the-art computer-controlled machines, however, even today the manual work of specialists is indispensable: More than 120 working cycles including several quality checks are carried out for each pair of scissors. A staff of 100 people produces 2,500 to 3,000 pairs of scissors in Solingen every day.

In the forging process the drop hammer imparts the first scissor contour into the blank. The teeth for thinning scissors are milled before hardening. The screw holes are punched and drilled in a fully automated process. During the next step the forged blank is hardened by heating to up to 1050°C. The ICE, or, in the case of Jaguar scissors, the Friodur® deep freezing process at up to -180°C, improves the steel structure, thus increasing the steel's wear resistance. The hardened blades then undergo several mechanical grinding processes. To impart the final sharpness to the cutting edges a high degree of experience and skill is required. One of the most important working cycles, adjusting and straightening the scissors, is an art few people can master. To guarantee the permanent high quality, each pair of JAGUAR scissors undergoes a thorough and extensive final check.
