Why these scissors will become your favorite tool:

• Flawless blades from Seki City: The blades are manufactured by Hasegawa Cutlery (established in 1933) in Seki the recognized cutlery capital of Japan. Experienced master craftsmen forge and fit them by hand, ensuring an incredibly smooth and soft cutting experience without any hitches.
• Unique "Koba-biki" sharpening: The final stages of processing require the special intuition of a master. The blades undergo two-step sharpening at different angles, which guarantees extraordinary sharpness, strength, and durability. The tips are slightly flattened for perfect alignment and safety.
• Exclusive lacquered handles: The handles are decorated by artisans at Ehara Lacquer Works (Nagoya) using the traditional technique of applying Buddhist lacquer, typically reserved for decorating temples.
• Shunuri, the color of celebration: The bright vermilion-red color of the handles is achieved using the Shunuri technique. In Asia, this shade is considered the color of celebration and joy. The design is exquisitely finished with gold lines applied in the Makie technique and an elegant golden tassel.
