The Mikado QX Series covers four blade lengths — 5.0” (QX-50), 5.5” (QX-55), 6.0” (QX-60), and 6.5” (QX-65) — all with an offset handle and convex blade. The QX prefix distinguishes this offset series from the classic-handle MX range and the extended XS range within the Mikado line-up.
Four lengths give options across cutting styles and hand sizes. The 5.0” and 5.5” suit precision and interior cutting; the 6.0” covers most everyday salon work; the 6.5” extends reach for longer hair and slide techniques. Distributed in Canada through Takano Canada. For confirmed steel grade, current pricing, and availability, visit Takano Canada or the Mikado brand page on ScissorPedia.

Professional Opinion
Four lengths from 5.0 to 6.5 inches, all on the same offset handle and convex blade, so you can choose purely by the work you do most. The offset geometry reduces wrist rotation over a long day, and the 6.5 inch option reaches nicely into longer hair and slide work.
Maintenance Tips
- Wipe blades after each client
- Oil the pivot point regularly
- Professional sharpening when edge dulls
- Store in protective case
