The Mikado XS Series is the extended-length line in the Mikado range, covering 6.0” (XS-60), 6.5” (XS-65), and 7.0” (XS-70). All three use an offset handle and convex blade. The XS prefix marks the longer-blade format within Mikado’s series structure, stepping up from the QX offset series.
The 7.0” blade is the longest in the Mikado range and suits slide cutting, bulk removal on mid to long hair, and over-comb barbering. Longer blades cover more hair per stroke, which reduces the number of passes needed on dense sections. The 6.0” and 6.5” options in this series suit stylists who work longer overall but want more blade reach than the QX 6.5” provides. For steel grade, current pricing, and stock, visit Takano Canada or the Mikado brand page on ScissorPedia.

Professional Opinion
Longer blades move more hair per stroke, and that is the whole idea behind this extended series. The 7.0 inch is the reach option for slide cutting, bulk removal on long hair, and scissor over comb barbering, while the 6.0 and 6.5 inch models keep the same offset feel in a tamer length.
Maintenance Tips
- Wipe blades after each client
- Oil the pivot point regularly
- Professional sharpening when edge dulls
- Store in protective case
