Which Shears Are Built to Chop Out Pattern and Texture?

The answer is chunking shears. They're built specifically to chop out chunks and build pattern into a cut.

Thinning and blending shears remove bulk more evenly across the hair, which is a different job entirely. Straight shears do standard cutting with no texturizing at all. Chunking shears stand apart because of their wide, irregular tooth spacing — that's what leaves the deliberately chunky, textured result instead of an even reduction.
