Where to buy
Check takanocanada.com for current pricing.
The Mikado MX Series is the standard entry in the Mikado cutting range, available in 5.0” (MX-50) and 6.0” (MX-60). Both models use a classic even handle — thumb and ring finger at the same height — with a convex blade. The MX designation identifies the standard handle style within Mikado’s line-up, distinct from the offset QX and extended XS series.
The even handle suits stylists accustomed to a symmetrical cutting posture and works across most general salon cutting techniques. The 5.0” is compact for detail and interior work; the 6.0” covers the majority of everyday cutting tasks. Mikado scissors are distributed in Canada through Takano Canada. For steel grade, current stock, and pricing, visit Takano Canada or the Mikado brand page on ScissorPedia.

Professional Opinion
The even handle puts thumb and ring finger at the same height, which suits stylists trained on a classic symmetrical grip. Pick the 5.0 inch for detail and interior work, or the 6.0 inch for the bulk of everyday salon cutting. A convex blade keeps the action smooth in either length.
Maintenance Tips
- Wipe blades after each client
- Oil the pivot point regularly
- Professional sharpening when edge dulls
- Store in protective case
