ICON ICT-196 The Basic Detailer Point Cutting Shear

Description

The ICT-196 is ICON’s detailer, built around a semi-convex, razor-sharp edge that suits the precise, controlled work point cutting asks for. It is cut from 440C Japanese stainless and finished in chrome titanium — a hard plated surface over the steel — with a flower-design detail and a removable finger rest you can set or take off to suit your grip. The offset handle keeps the hand relaxed at the single 5.5” detailing length. A one-year edge warranty with unlimited sharpening and a lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects sit behind it.

Professional Opinion

“This is the ICON to pick if your day is detail and point cutting — the semi-convex edge is precise, the 5.5” length is right for close finishing, and the removable finger rest lets you tune the grip or strip it back. The unlimited-sharpening cover takes the worry out of using it hard. Honest limitation: it is a short, single-length detailer, so it is not the pair for long lines or bulk removal, and at this price you are paying for the warranty and chrome-titanium finish as much as the 440C steel. Keep it dry and serviced and it stays sharp and bright.”
