✂️ Michiko Select LA — Cat-Design Offset Handle for Powerful Cuts

Built for stylists who want power, stability, and clean lines without sacrificing control.
The LA features a unique cat-design offset handle with a thicker grip—your ring finger anchors naturally, increasing leverage and torque for blunt perimeters, scissor-over-comb, and heavy slide work.
Available in 5.5″ / 6.0″ / 6.5″ / 7.0″ to match your technique from detailed salon cuts to bold barber shapes.

⚙️ Premium Japanese Cobalt Alloy

Forged in Japan from Premium Japanese Cobalt Alloy for superior edge life and a smooth, powerful glide.
The true Convex Edge delivers crisp entry and controlled exit through coarse or thick sections, minimizing push and preserving line integrity in wet or dry cutting.
Hardware includes an Adjustable Countersunk Screw for precise tension, a Screw-in Bumper for quiet close, and a Permanent Finger Rest for added stability.

🖐️ Cat-Design Offset Handle — Grip, Torque & Control

The thicker handle body and cat-shaped ring-finger contour create a secure anchor point, reducing grip squeeze and improving leverage.
This geometry supports power bob lines, one-length shaping, and debulking while keeping the wrist in a neutral, comfortable angle for long sessions.

✂️ Cutting Applications — From All-Round to Power Lines

5.5″ / 6.0″ — All-rounders for blunt, slide, and point cutting; great maneuverability for internal layering, perimeter shaping, and daily salon work.
6.5″ / 7.0″ — Extended reach & stability for scissor-over-comb, blunt perimeter, graduation, and thick-section control; ideal when you need extra power and line accuracy.

🧠 Limited Edition — Michiko Select Series

Part of the exclusive Michiko Select Series, available online only.
Hand-finished in Japan for consistent tension and refined balance.
Screw colors may vary depending on production batch.
