Professional Opinion
If hand fatigue is your main concern across a fully booked day, the MLDS is built around that problem, pairing a refined handle geometry with a convex edge. Around US$785 puts it in the middle of Matsuzaki's cutting range. Both 5.5 and 6.0 inch sizes are available, made in Tokyo.
Maintenance Tips
- Wipe blades after each client
