Why Professionals Chose SWORD Midnight Black 6.1"
The SWORD Midnight Black 6.1" combined a versatile professional cutting length with a stable ergonomic offset handle and iCandy's distinctive Sword Mountain blade design.
The 67 mm blade length provided useful reach while maintaining the manoeuvrability expected from a 6.1-inch professional scissor.
At 60 g, the model offered a balanced professional feel suitable for controlled precision work, slicing, layering and general salon or barber cutting.
Sword Mountain Blade Design
The Sword Mountain blade was developed from iCandy's earlier SWORD blade direction, combining a distinctive blade profile with controlled professional cutting performance.
On this 6.1-inch model, the 67 mm blade length supported precision cutting, slicing, layering, perimeter work and professional barbering while retaining manoeuvrability.
Japanese VG10 Steel Performance
The SWORD Midnight Black 6.1" 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.
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 professional scissor performs.
For the current iCandy steel specifications across VG10, ATS314 and SUS440C models, see the Professional Scissor Steel & Specifications Guide.
Midnight Black Titanium Nano Finish
The SWORD Midnight Black used a distinctive Midnight Black Titanium Nano finish over the Japanese VG10 scissor body.
The coating provided the model's recognisable dark appearance while preserving the underlying professional blade and handle geometry.
Existing owners should keep the scissors clean and dry and avoid exposure to bleach, peroxide, barbicide and other harsh salon chemicals that may affect the finish.
Ergonomic Offset Handle
The SWORD Midnight Black 6.1" used an ergonomic offset handle designed to support a comfortable professional hand position and controlled cutting movement.
This SWORD model should not be confused with the separate SWORD PRO models, which use iCandy's distinctive hammered-texture handle treatment.
Ball-Bearing Tension System
The SWORD Midnight Black used a ball-bearing hinge system with thumb-style tension adjustment to support smooth blade movement and practical professional tension control.
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.
iCandy has used ball-bearing hinge technology across its professional scissor designs since 2012.
Best Cutting Applications
The SWORD Midnight Black VG10 6.1" was particularly well suited to:
- precision cutting
- slice cutting
- layering
- point cutting
- blunt cutting
- dry cutting
- perimeter work
- general salon cutting
- professional barbering
- versatile everyday professional use
Why Choose a 6.1-Inch Professional Scissor?
A 6.1-inch scissor provides a useful middle ground for professionals who like the control of a 6.0-inch scissor but appreciate slightly more overall reach. On this SWORD Midnight Black model, the confirmed blade length was 67 mm.
