Why Professionals Choose ELECTRO-EVO 5.5"
ELECTRO-EVO 5.5" is designed for professionals who want a compact, precise cutting scissor with a lightweight feel and a modern Sword Mountain blade.
The 5.5-inch format gives close control around fringes, face framing, detailed sections and precision work, while the 48 g weight keeps the scissor light and responsive through repetitive professional use.
Its 58 mm convex edge provides smooth cutting action without the additional reach of longer 6.0-inch and 6.5-inch scissors, making it particularly suitable for professionals who prioritise manoeuvrability and detailed control.
Sword Mountain Blade Design
The Sword Mountain blade is an evolution of iCandy's earlier Sword blade concept and is designed as a strong professional cutting platform with a refined convex cutting edge.
On the compact ELECTRO-EVO 5.5", the blade profile combines a slim, fine-point feel with controlled cutting strength through the blade body.
This makes the model well suited to point cutting, precision work, fringe cutting, detailed layering and controlled slice cutting.
Japanese VG10 Steel Performance
The ELECTRO-EVO Silver 5.5" is crafted from Japanese VG10 stainless steel with an iCandy hardness specification of 60–61 HRC on the Rockwell hardness scale.
VG10 provides a strong balance of hardness, edge retention, corrosion resistance and professional durability for hairdressing and barber scissors.
Combined with the Sword Mountain blade and 58 mm convex cutting edge, the steel supports smooth cutting action and precise professional control.
Steel hardness is only one part of professional scissor performance. Blade geometry, edge preparation, tension, balance, ergonomics, finishing and maintenance all contribute to how a scissor performs in professional use.
For a broader comparison of Japanese VG10, ATS314 and SUS440C specifications across iCandy scissors, see the Professional Scissor Steel & Specifications Guide.
Ergonomic Handle & Ball-Bearing Tension System
ELECTRO-EVO uses an ergonomic professional handle designed to support a controlled cutting position and comfortable everyday salon or barber use.
The Japanese adjustment tension screw with ball-bearing hinge system supports smooth blade movement through the cutting action while allowing the scissor tension to be set correctly for professional use.
Correct tension helps the blades close cleanly and consistently. A scissor that is too loose may fold or push hair, while excessive tension can make the cutting action unnecessarily heavy.
Best Cutting Applications
The ELECTRO-EVO Silver VG10 5.5" is particularly well suited to:
- precision cutting
- point cutting
- fringe cutting
- face framing
- detailed layering
- controlled slice cutting
- dry cutting
- short-section work
- precision perimeter work
- everyday salon cutting
Why Choose a 5.5-Inch Professional Scissor?
A 5.5-inch scissor prioritises control and manoeuvrability. The shorter cutting length is particularly useful for precision work, detailed sections, fringes, point cutting and professionals who prefer a compact scissor in the hand.

If you prefer additional reach for more general-purpose cutting, compare the ELECTRO-EVO Silver VG10 6.0" or browse the 6.0 Inch Professional Scissors Collection.
ELECTRO Silver Mirror-Polished Finish
The ELECTRO-EVO 5.5" uses the distinctive ELECTRO Silver Mirror-Polished Finish, giving the scissor a clean professional appearance while keeping the Sword Mountain blade and ergonomic geometry visually prominent.
As with all professional scissors, the finish should be kept clean and dry and protected from prolonged exposure to bleach, peroxide, barbicide and other harsh salon chemicals.
