Where this sits
In ICON Shears's cutting scissors lineup the ICON ICT-163 Multi-Color Titanium Crane Shear occupies the premium band, priced below the ICON ICT-125 Multi-Color Titanium Swivel Shear. It uses 440C.
The ICON ICT-163 is a 5.5-inch multi-color titanium crane-handle shear and one of ICON Shears’ best-selling models over recent years. The crane handle drops the thumb ring below the finger loop, allowing the elbow and shoulder to stay lower during overhead cutting passes. This reduces cumulative strain compared to offset and opposing-handle designs on extended cutting sessions.
The blade is built on 440C Japanese stainless steel with a semi-convex edge. The multi-color titanium coating adds surface hardness and visual distinction. A one-year blade and edge warranty with unlimited sharpening applies. For current stock and purchasing, visit the ICON Shears brand page on ScissorPedia.

Professional Opinion
Crane geometry drops the elbow and shoulder, and the ICT-163 uses that handle shape to make overhead and high-section cutting less tiring. It is a 5.5 inch 440C shear with a semi-convex edge under a multi-color titanium coating.
