Professional Opinion
The IKA carries the widest blades in the Osaka range, which gives real presence on blunt cuts and slicing through dense sections. A flat blade back rides the comb cleanly, so scissor-over-comb work feels planted, in 5.8 or 6.3 inches of VG-10 cobalt.
Maintenance Tips
- Wipe blades after each client
- Oil pivot regularly
- Professional sharpening recommended when edge dulls
- Store in protective case when not in use
