Michiko Select LA — Cat-Design Offset Handle for Powerful Cuts
Built for stylists seeking power, stability, and clean lines without losing control.
The LA features a unique cat-design offset handle with a thicker grip — your ring finger anchors naturally, increasing torque for blunt perimeters, scissor-over-comb, and heavy slide work.
Available in 5.5″ / 6.0″ / 6.5″ / 7.0″ to suit both detailed salon work and bold barber techniques.
Premium Japanese Cobalt Alloy
Forged in Japan from Premium Japanese Cobalt Alloy for maximum durability and edge retention.
The true Convex Edge delivers crisp entry and controlled exit through coarse or thick sections, minimizing push and ensuring clean, accurate lines in wet or dry cutting.
Includes an Adjustable Countersunk Screw, Screw-in Bumper, and a Permanent Finger Rest for stability and precise tension.
Cat-Design Offset Handle — Grip, Torque & Control
The thicker handle and cat-shaped ring-finger contour provide a secure anchor point, reducing grip tension and enhancing leverage.
Ideal for power bob lines, one-length shaping, and debulking, while maintaining a natural wrist angle for long cutting sessions.

6.5″ / 7.0″ — Extended reach and stability for scissor-over-comb, blunt perimeters, graduation, and thick-section control; perfect when extra power and accuracy are required.
