Professional Opinion
Four lengths from 5.5 to 7.0 inches give the SL-02 real flexibility: shorter sizes for close work, longer ones for scissor-over-comb and bigger sections. It is the second handle variant in the Solid range, offered in silver, matte black, and matte gold.
Maintenance Tips
- Wipe blades after each client
- Oil pivot daily
- Use only a sharpener experienced with Mizutani convex edges
- Mizutani recommends authorized service for warranty coverage
