Luck favours the prepared.

Named after Leif Erikson — better known as Leif the Lucky — the Erikson is proof that sometimes the right tool in the right hands can feel a lot like luck.

At 5.5", the Erikson sits on the shorter end of our lineup and features our slimmest blade profile yet. Combined with one of the lightest builds in the collection, it offers exceptional manoeuvrability and control when the details matter most.

Its full convex edge moves effortlessly through wet hair, while the narrow blade profile gives you the precision to work exactly where you want. Intricate point cutting, detailed finishing and those final adjustments that bring an entire haircut together — this is where the Erikson shines.

Light in the hand. Slim through the blade. Precise at the tip. The Erikson isn't built to overpower the hair. It's built to give you control over it.

Maybe Leif was lucky. We'd rather be prepared.
