Extra Cutting Reach with the EVOLVE Midnight Black Professional System

The iCandy EVOLVE Midnight Black VG10 Scissor & Thinner Bundle (6.5/6.0 inch) paired a longer 6.5-inch professional cutting scissor with the matching 6.0-inch 30 Tooth Soft Cut Thinner, creating a coordinated professional system for hairdressers and barbers who wanted additional cutting-blade reach together with controlled blending and finishing.

Crafted from Japanese VG10 steel and finished in Midnight Black Titanium Nano Colour Coating, both tools were developed around the EVOLVE ergonomic offset platform and iCandy's long-running ball-bearing tension system.

The 6.5-inch cutting scissor made this bundle particularly suited to professionals who preferred additional reach for longer cutting lines, larger sections and scissor-over-comb work, while the 30 Tooth Soft Cut Thinner provided a dedicated tool for blending, line softening and controlled texture refinement.

This exact Midnight Black 6.5/6.0 configuration has now sold out and will not be restocked. Professionals wanting a current longer-blade EVOLVE combination should consider the EVOLVE Silver 6.5"/6.0" Bundle, while those wanting the Midnight Black finish can choose the current EVOLVE Midnight Black 6.0"/6.0" Bundle.

Professional Summary

Why Professionals Chose the EVOLVE Midnight Black 6.5/6.0 Bundle

This configuration was designed for professionals who wanted a longer primary cutting scissor without giving up the convenience of a coordinated EVOLVE thinner.

The EVOLVE Midnight Black 6.5-inch Cutting Scissor handled the structural work: establishing shape, creating longer clean cutting lines, working through larger sections, point cutting and providing additional reach for scissor-over-comb techniques.

The matching 6.0-inch 30 Tooth Soft Cut Thinner took over when refinement was required, helping soften visible lines, blend transitions, selectively reduce weight and introduce controlled movement.

Together they created a professional workflow:

Cut → Blend → Finish

Because both tools shared the EVOLVE ergonomic platform, Japanese VG10 steel foundation and Midnight Black Titanium Nano Colour Coating, the bundle provided a deliberately coordinated professional toolkit.

Professional Workflow

1. Shape

Use the EVOLVE Midnight Black 6.5" Cutting Scissor for:

• precision cutting
• blunt cutting
• longer cutting lines
• larger sections
• point cutting
• scissor-over-comb
• barbering
• general professional salon cutting

2. Blend

Use the EVOLVE Midnight Black 6.0" 30 Tooth Soft Cut Thinner to:

• soften visible cutting lines
• blend transitions
• selectively reduce weight
• refine layered work
• create controlled texture
• introduce natural movement

3. Finish

Complete the haircut using two purpose-specific tools: the longer cutting scissor for structure and reach, followed by the dedicated thinner for refinement and finishing.

Japanese VG10 Steel Performance

Both scissors were crafted from Japanese VG10 steel with a Rockwell hardness of 60–61 HRC, providing the premium steel foundation used across the EVOLVE platform.

The 6.5-inch cutting scissor combines this VG10 steel foundation with a 76 mm convex cutting edge and Sword Mountain blade profile, providing additional cutting reach while retaining the controlled action expected from a professional EVOLVE cutter.

The matching 6.0-inch thinner uses the same VG10 steel platform with its 30 Tooth Soft Cut design, giving the professional a dedicated tool for blending and finishing rather than asking the primary cutting scissor to perform every stage of the haircut.

Correct tension, regular cleaning and oiling, careful storage and professional sharpening all contribute to maintaining professional cutting performance over time.

Ergonomic Control from Cutting to Finishing

Both scissors use the EVOLVE ergonomic offset handle, helping maintain a familiar hand position as the professional moves between the cutting scissor and thinner.

Each tool also features a Japanese tension screw with ball-bearing system, supporting smooth blade movement and allowing correct tension to be maintained for professional use.

The advantage of the coordinated EVOLVE platform is consistency: although the cutting scissor and thinner perform different jobs, their overall handle design and professional feel remain familiar.

Best Cutting & Finishing Techniques

The EVOLVE Midnight Black 6.5/6.0 Bundle was particularly well suited to professionals combining:

• precision cutting
• blunt cutting
• point cutting
• long-section cutting
• scissor-over-comb
• barbering
• controlled blending
• line softening
• selective weight removal
• texture refinement
• haircut finishing

The 6.5-inch cutting length was the defining feature of this discontinued configuration, providing more reach than the current Midnight Black 6.0-inch bundle.

Who Was the EVOLVE Midnight Black 6.5/6.0 Bundle Best For?

• barbers using regular scissor-over-comb techniques
• hairdressers who prefer a longer primary cutting scissor
• professionals working through larger sections
• short-hair specialists wanting additional cutting reach
• professionals regularly alternating between cutting and thinning scissors
• stylists who prefer the darker Midnight Black professional finish
• apprentices investing in a coordinated professional cutting and thinning system
• experienced professionals replacing mismatched tools

Which Current EVOLVE Model Should You Choose Instead?

Because this exact Midnight Black 6.5/6.0 Bundle has sold out permanently, the closest current alternatives are:

Choose the EVOLVE Silver 6.5"/6.0" Bundle if the longer 6.5-inch cutting length, larger cutting sections and scissor-over-comb capability are your priority.

Choose the EVOLVE Midnight Black 6.0"/6.0" Bundle if you want to retain the Midnight Black Titanium Nano Colour Coating in the current EVOLVE range and prefer a more versatile all-round 6.0-inch cutting length.

Choose the EVOLVE Silver 6.0" Cutting Scissor if you already own a professional thinner and want a versatile everyday cutting scissor.

Choose the individual EVOLVE 30 Tooth Soft Cut Thinner if your existing cutting scissor already suits your work and you only need to upgrade your blending and finishing tool.

Midnight Black Titanium Nano Colour Coating

The Midnight Black Titanium Nano Colour Coating gave this EVOLVE configuration its gloss black professional appearance across both the cutting scissor and matching thinner.

The Midnight Black finish offers a darker alternative to traditional polished Silver while retaining the underlying Japanese VG10 steel platform and EVOLVE ergonomic design.

The Midnight Black terminology describes the colour coating applied to the scissors. The underlying professional scissor steel remains Japanese VG10 steel.

Caring for Your Midnight Black Finish

• Wipe both scissors clean and dry after every use.
• Remove loose hair from around the pivot.
• Apply suitable professional scissor oil regularly.
• Maintain correct blade tension.
• Store both scissors safely when not in use.
• Avoid dropping or knocking the scissors.
• Avoid prolonged exposure to barbicide, bleach, peroxide and harsh salon chemicals.
• Arrange professional sharpening and servicing when required.
• Do not use home sharpening devices.
