Professional Opinion

“A 4.5” or 5.0” blade is a deliberate choice, and it tells you who the Ichiko is for: this is a detail and dry-finishing tool, made for working close to the fingers — point cutting into a fringe, chipping out a soft perimeter, slicing fine texture around the face. The convex edge draws cleanly through hair without pushing it, and on a blade this short you get a level of control a 6.0” simply can’t match. The 440C at 58-60HRC is a properly hardened Japanese stainless that holds a respectable edge and keeps a true convex bevel through resharpening. Just be clear-eyed about the length: it is not a scissor-over-comb or club-cutting workhorse, and on a big thick head you’ll feel the short blade asking for more passes. As a precision partner to a longer everyday pair — or as a primary for stylists who specialise in short, sharp, technical cutting — it’s a refined little tool that punches above the price after the discount.”
