The blades are created by Hasegawa Cutlery, a manufacturer of edged tools established in 1933 and located in Seki, Japan’s foremost cutlery-making town. Blades are forged and hand-fitted by master craftsmen for a sharp edge and a smooth, hitch-free cutting experience.

With handles decorated by our partners at Ehara Lacquer Works of Nagoya, each set of scissors displays the elegance of traditional Buddhist lacquerware typically reserved for temples.
Smooth-fitting and easy to use, the warm lacquer handles are as functional as they are beautiful.

Red handles are finished with the Shunuri technique, which is used to produce a vibrant vermillion red, considered the color of celebration across Asia.  Each set of scissors comes in a leather case with a gilt tassel, protected by a cloth wrapping. The cloth can be used as a cleaning cloth for the lacquered handles. With proper maintenance they should last a lifetime.

Dimensions: 105mm (4 1/8”) long

Made by Mr. Hasegawa Cutlery in Seki City, Gifu Prefecture, one of Japan's leading cutlery towns.
