Japanese VG10 Performance with an Ergonomic Double-Swivel Handle
The iCandy SWORD Double Swivel VG10 Hairdressing Scissor (6.0 inch) is designed for professional hairdressers and barbers who want a versatile 6.0-inch cutting scissor with the added flexibility of iCandy's distinctive Double Swivel Handle.
Crafted from Japanese VG10 stainless steel specified at 60–61 HRC, the SWORD Double Swivel combines a Sword Mountain blade, 65 mm convex cutting edge, double-swivel thumb design and Japanese thumb-adjustable ball-bearing tension system.

Why Professionals Choose the SWORD Double Swivel 6.0"
The SWORD Double Swivel is designed for professionals who want the cutting versatility of a 6.0-inch VG10 scissor with a handle that can adapt more freely as the hand changes position.
The double-swivel mechanism gives the thumb ring additional movement compared with a conventional fixed handle, allowing professionals to reposition the thumb and hand through different cutting angles and techniques.
Its 64 g weight gives the scissor a stable professional feel, while the 65 mm convex edge provides a practical balance of control and reach for everyday salon and barber work.
Sword Mountain Blade Design
The Sword Mountain blade is an evolution of iCandy's earlier Sword blade design and is engineered as a strong professional cutting platform with a smooth convex edge.
On the 6.0-inch Double Swivel model, the 65 mm convex cutting edge provides useful coverage without sacrificing the manoeuvrability expected from a versatile everyday professional scissor.
This combination makes the model suitable for precision work, point cutting, slicing, layering, blunt cutting and controlled barber techniques.
Japanese VG10 Steel Performance
The SWORD Double Swivel 6.0" 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 convex cutting edge, the steel supports clean cutting action and dependable professional performance across a broad range of techniques.
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.
How the Double-Swivel Handle Works
The defining feature of this SWORD model is its Double Swivel Handle.
Unlike a fixed thumb ring, the swivel mechanism allows the thumb ring to rotate and reposition as the hand moves through different cutting angles. The second swivel point increases that freedom of movement, giving professionals more flexibility in how they position the thumb, wrist and hand during cutting.
This makes the SWORD Double Swivel particularly relevant to professionals who prefer a more adaptable handle setup for repetitive salon and barber work.
Handle preference is personal. Professionals who prefer a conventional fixed offset handle may instead prefer models in the Professional Hairdressing Scissors Collection.
Japanese Ball-Bearing Tension System
The SWORD Double Swivel uses a Japanese thumb-adjustable tension screw with a ball-bearing hinge system.
The ball-bearing pivot supports smooth blade movement, while the thumb-adjustable tension control allows the professional to make practical tension adjustments without dismantling the scissor.
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 action unnecessarily heavy.
Best Cutting Applications
The SWORD Double Swivel VG10 6.0" is particularly well suited to:
- precision cutting
- point cutting
- layering
- blunt cutting
- slice cutting
- dry cutting
- bob work
- fringe and perimeter work
- general salon cutting
- controlled barber cutting
Why Choose a 6.0-Inch Professional Scissor?
A 6.0-inch cutting scissor offers one of the most practical balances between precision and blade reach.
It is particularly useful for professionals who want one versatile length for point cutting, layering, blunt cutting, slicing and general salon or barber work.

If you prefer more compact precision, browse the 5.5 Inch Professional Scissors Collection. For additional reach and scissor-over-comb performance, explore the 6.5 Inch Professional Scissors Collection.
Mirror-Polished Silver Finish
The SWORD Double Swivel 6.0" uses a classic Mirror-Polished Silver Finish that keeps the focus on the distinctive Sword Mountain blade and double-swivel handle design.
Like 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.
