iCandy SWORD Double Swivel VG10 6.5" — Sold Out Product Reference
The iCandy SWORD Double Swivel VG10 Hairdressing Scissor (6.5 inch) has sold out and will not be restocked. This page remains online as a technical product reference for professionals researching the original 6.5-inch Double Swivel design, Japanese VG10 steel specification and SWORD blade platform.
For the closest SWORD alternatives, compare the SWORD Double Swivel VG10 6.0" if you want the same Double Swivel handle concept in a shorter format, or the SWORD Swivel VG10 6.5" if you prefer the same longer cutting length with a Single Swivel Handle.
The SWORD Double Swivel 6.5" was designed for professional hairdressers and barbers who wanted longer blade reach combined with the added freedom of a Double Swivel Handle.
Crafted from Japanese VG10 stainless steel specified at 60–61 HRC, this model combined a Sword Mountain blade, 75 mm convex cutting edge, double-swivel thumb design and Japanese UFO adjustment tension screw with ball-bearing hinge system.

Why Professionals Chose the SWORD Double Swivel 6.5"
The SWORD Double Swivel 6.5" combined the reach of a longer professional cutting scissor with the additional movement of a double-swivel thumb mechanism.
The 6.5-inch format provided useful blade coverage for scissor-over-comb, barbering, larger sections and longer cutting strokes, while the double-swivel handle gave the thumb and hand more freedom to reposition through different cutting angles.
Its 68 g weight gave the scissor a substantial, stable professional feel, while the 75 mm convex cutting edge supported controlled cutting across longer-blade techniques.
Sword Mountain Blade Design
The Sword Mountain blade was an evolution of iCandy's earlier Sword blade concept and was developed as a strong professional cutting platform with a smooth convex edge.
On the 6.5-inch Double Swivel model, the 75 mm convex cutting edge provided additional reach compared with the 6.0-inch version while maintaining controlled professional cutting performance.
This combination made the model particularly suitable for scissor-over-comb, larger sections, slicing, layering and longer cutting strokes.
Japanese VG10 Steel Performance
The SWORD Double Swivel 6.5" was 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 75 mm convex cutting edge, the steel supported clean cutting action and dependable professional performance across longer-blade 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 Worked
The defining ergonomic feature of this SWORD model was its Double Swivel Handle.
Unlike a conventional fixed thumb ring, the double-swivel mechanism provided two points of movement that allowed the thumb ring and hand to reposition more freely through different cutting angles.
This gave professionals greater flexibility in how they positioned the thumb, wrist and hand during salon and barber cutting.
Professionals wanting the same Double Swivel concept in a shorter format can compare the SWORD Double Swivel VG10 6.0".
Japanese UFO Adjustment & Ball-Bearing Tension System
The SWORD Double Swivel 6.5" used a Japanese UFO adjustment tension screw with a ball-bearing hinge system.
The compact UFO-style tension system provided professional tension adjustment while the ball-bearing pivot supported smooth blade movement through the cutting action.
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 6.5" was particularly well suited to:
- scissor-over-comb
- barbering
- long-section cutting
- layering
- slice cutting
- blunt cutting
- dry cutting
- precision perimeter work
- medium-to-long hairstyles
- larger professional cutting sections
Why Choose a 6.5-Inch Professional Scissor?
A 6.5-inch cutting scissor provides additional blade reach and cutting coverage compared with shorter precision scissors.
The longer format is particularly useful for scissor-over-comb, barbering, larger sections, longer cutting strokes, blunt cutting and medium-to-long hairstyles.

Double Swivel 6.5" vs Double Swivel 6.0"
The sold-out SWORD Double Swivel 6.5" and the SWORD Double Swivel VG10 6.0" share the same core ergonomic idea but provide different cutting lengths.
The 6.5-inch model prioritised reach, scissor-over-comb and larger sections, while the 6.0-inch model provides a more compact and versatile everyday cutting length.
Double Swivel vs Single Swivel
The SWORD Double Swivel uses two points of handle movement, while the SWORD Swivel VG10 6.5" uses a single rotating thumb ring.
The double-swivel design provides additional repositioning freedom, while the single-swivel design offers rotational thumb movement through a simpler handle configuration. Handle preference depends on the professional's cutting style and preferred hand movement.
Mirror-Polished Silver Finish
The SWORD Double Swivel 6.5" used a classic Mirror-Polished Silver Finish that kept the focus on the Sword Mountain blade and distinctive double-swivel handle design.
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.
