Why Professionals Choose SWORD PRO Midnight Black 6.1"
SWORD PRO Midnight Black 6.1" is designed for professionals who want a versatile cutting length with distinctive styling, stable balance and the control of an ergonomic offset professional scissor.
The 6.1-inch format, with a confirmed 67 mm blade length, provides useful blade reach while remaining suited to precision work, slicing, layering and general salon or barber cutting.
At 60 g, the SWORD PRO Midnight Black 6.1" has a stable professional balance that supports controlled cutting without feeling unnecessarily heavy in the hand.
The ergonomic offset handle supports controlled positioning, while the hammered-texture design and Midnight Black Titanium Nano finish give this SWORD PRO model its distinctive professional appearance.
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 refined convex-edge performance.
On the 6.1-inch SWORD PRO, the 67 mm blade length provides useful cutting coverage for precision cutting, slicing, layering, perimeter work and professional barbering while retaining controlled manoeuvrability.
The design combines the visual identity of the SWORD family with a versatile professional cutting format intended for everyday salon and barber use.
Japanese VG10 Steel Performance
The SWORD PRO Midnight Black 6.1" 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, the steel supports controlled professional cutting across precision work, slicing, layering, perimeter cutting and general barbering 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.
Midnight Black Titanium Nano Finish
The SWORD PRO Midnight Black uses a distinctive Midnight Black Titanium Nano finish over the Japanese VG10 scissor body.
The coating gives the model its deep black professional appearance while preserving the underlying blade and handle geometry.
To help preserve the finish, keep the scissors clean and dry and avoid exposure to bleach, peroxide, barbicide and other harsh salon chemicals.

Ergonomic Offset Handle & Hammered-Texture Design
SWORD PRO uses an ergonomic offset handle designed to support a natural professional hand position and controlled cutting movement.
The handle also features the distinctive hammered-texture design that visually separates SWORD PRO from more conventional smooth-finish professional scissors.
The textured treatment is part of the SWORD PRO design identity while the underlying offset handle geometry remains focused on balance, control and professional usability.
Ball-Bearing Tension System
SWORD PRO uses 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 PRO Midnight Black VG10 6.1" is 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 additional blade reach. On this SWORD PRO Midnight Black model, the blade length is 67 mm.
The format works well across precision cutting, layering, slicing, perimeter work and general salon or barber techniques without moving into the overall feel of a 6.6-inch scissor.

Midnight Black 6.1" vs Silver 6.1"
The SWORD PRO Midnight Black VG10 6.1" and SWORD PRO Silver VG10 6.1" share the same SWORD PRO design direction, Sword Mountain blade platform, ergonomic offset handle and ball-bearing tension system.
The key difference is finish and the confirmed model-specific physical specification: Midnight Black uses a Titanium Nano colour finish and this model is specified at 60 g with a 67 mm blade length. The Silver 6.1" uses a classic mirror-polished finish and its own confirmed dimensional specification.
SWORD PRO 6.1" vs SWORD PRO 6.6"
The SWORD PRO Midnight Black VG10 6.1" and SWORD PRO Midnight Black VG10 6.6" suit different cutting preferences.
The 6.1-inch model prioritises versatility and manoeuvrability across a broad range of salon and barber techniques. The 6.6-inch model is intended for professionals who prefer a longer overall scissor format for larger sections, scissor-over-comb and longer cutting strokes.
