About Us

Welcome to Butter Shears!

We’re Jun and Kara Koo, a husband-and-wife team passionate about delivering the sharpest, most reliable tools to hairstylists and barbers in Utah. Based on years of experience in shear sharpening, we’ve built a trusted reputation for keeping your tools in top-notch condition. From Nephi to South Salt Lake, our dedicated team provides expert sharpening services, ensuring every stylist we work with can create with precision and confidence.

While sharpening is where we started, we have a dream: to develop our own line of shears. Until then, we wholesale exceptional shears that we’ve personally tested and proven to offer outstanding long-term performance through our sharpening work. Every pair we recommend meets our rigorous standards for durability, sharpness, and style.

Which Metal is Right for You?

Choosing the right shear isn’t just about the design—it’s also about the metal. Here’s a breakdown to help you decide:

  • 440C Steel: A reliable, cost-effective option known for its strength and resistance to wear. Perfect for stylists looking for durability and sharpness on a budget.
  • V- 10 Steel: A high-grade Japanese steel that offers excellent edge retention and sharpness. Ideal for professionals seeking shears that require less frequent sharpening while delivering precision cuts.
  • Cobalt Alloy Steel ( ATS-314): Lightweight, incredibly sharp, and durable. This premium option is best for those who demand top-tier performance and comfort for extended use.
  • Super Gold 2 (SG2) Steel: A premium Japanese stainless steel produced through advanced powder metallurgy. Known for its exceptional hardness, superior edge retention, and excellent corrosion resistance, SG2 is ideal for stylists and barbers seeking top-tier performance with minimal sharpening needs. Its durability and precision make it the ultimate choice for professionals demanding the highest quality tools.

At Butter Shears, our goal is to empower stylists and barbers with tools they can trust, sharpened to perfection, and tailored to their craft. Whether you’re in the market for sharpening services or a new pair of shears, we’re here to support you every step of the way.

Stay tuned as we continue working toward our dream of launching the Butter Shears brand.
