Handles Guide

    Michiko Select Series

Offset Handle 
Shorter thumb side reduces fatigue and makes cutting easier for long use.

                 
Symmetric Handle

Thumb side is longer than offset, giving more cutting power but less ergonomic comfort.

Crane Handle
Extra offset lowers wrist and elbow strain, ideal for comfortable cutting in seated positions.

Ergonomic 3D
3D handle twists the rings for a natural fit. Provides comfort, reduces strain, and adds stability.

Swivel Handle

Swivel Handle
Cuts at any angle with comfort, less wrist and thumb strain.

Special Rubber
U.S. patented system for stability and durability — over 5,000 haircuts, less than 0.5% breakage in 10 years.

Finger Rest
The pinky is supported here. With a finger rest, the shears feel steadier and make cutting easier.

Hump (Camel Back)
A hump adds stability, but it’s personal preference and doesn’t affect performance.
