Professional Opinion
Matsuzaki places the Mantis 77 in its high-end range, and the draw here is edge retention, holding a keen convex edge through heavy salon use between sharpenings. At around US$945 it suits an advanced stylist whose precision work depends on consistent sharpness. Available in 5.5 and 6.0 inch lengths, made in Tokyo.
Maintenance Tips
- Wipe blades after each client
