Story

These shears are made by Hasegawa Cutlery in Seki-shi, Gifu Prefecture, one of the most famous cutlery towns in Japan, and are characterized by their stable sharpness, rust resistance, and durability. The scissors are a little smaller in size than conventional shears. They fit in a woman's hand, are lightweight and easy to handle. They are comfortable to use for a long time without getting tired.

The handles are coated with lacquer, which is hand-finished one by one by artisans to a glossy finish. The smooth texture unique to urushi lacquer makes these scissors very special.

Handling Precautions

• The blade tips are sharp, so please handle with care.
• Forcing the blades to cut hard or thick object will result in losing blade engagement and damage to the blades.
• Dropping or strong impact may cause damage.
• Do not store scissors in direct sunlight or in high temperatures and humidity to prevent rusting of the scissors and discoloration of the lacquer.
• Lacquer coatings are very delicate. Do not use hard cloths or abrasives for cleaning as they scratch the surface.
• After use, wipe with the cleaner cloth provided and store in the sheath.
• The sheath is made of genuine leather and therefore may stretch or shrink a little. Also wetting with water or sweat may cause color fading or stains.
• There may be a rare case of lacquer rash depending on user's physical constitution. If you experience any abnormality, discontinue use and consult a physician.
• Keep out of reach of infants.
