Where this sits
In Tokyo Riki's cutting scissors lineup the Tokyo Riki Hakucho SUPER Cutting Scissors occupies the entry-level tier, priced below the Tokyo Riki Kocho Cobalt Cutting Scissors. Manufactured in Japan.
The Hakucho (白鳥, “swan”) SUPER series is Tokyo Riki’s classic even-handle cutting line. Where the Kocho and Arcoba ranges use offset geometry, the Hakucho SUPER positions the thumb and finger rings at equal height — a preference for stylists who work with a level grip through scissor-over-comb, graduation, and traditional cutting patterns.
Three model variants sit within the SUPER range: the SUPER 3, SUPER 1M, and SUPER 2M. All are built in cobalt steel with a convex blade, consistent with Tokyo Riki’s manufacturing approach since their founding in Itabashi, Tokyo in 1946.

Professional Opinion
The even handle is the point here. If you cut with a level grip through scissor-over-comb or classical graduation, this keeps your hand in the position you trained on. Cobalt steel with a convex edge gives clean cutting, and the three SUPER variants let you choose within the range.
Maintenance Tips
- Wipe blades after each client
- Oil the pivot point regularly
- Professional sharpening when edge dulls
- Store in protective case
