Where this sits
In ICON Shears's cutting scissors lineup the ICON ICT-199A Rope-Swivel Shear occupies the premium tier, priced above the ICON 6.5" Multi-Color Hairstyling Shears ICT-300. It uses 440C, a Japan pro workhorse stainless with a working hardness of 58–60 HRC. Manufactured in .
The ICON ICT-199A is a 5.5-inch swivel-thumb shear with a rope-pattern handle design — a detail not found on the standard ICT-125 swivel. The swivel thumb ring allows the thumb to stay in a relaxed position during a cutting stroke, reducing accumulated stress on the thumb joint and wrist. The handle’s rope-like texture is unique to this model within the ICON range.
The blade uses 440C Japanese stainless steel with a semi-convex edge. The ICT-199A is available in multi-color, gold, and blue titanium finishes at the same $515 price point. A one-year blade and edge warranty with unlimited sharpening applies. For current stock and purchasing, visit the ICON Shears brand page on ScissorPedia.
