High-hardness Japanese Steel

Japanese sword techniques, passed down for centuries, have influenced the crafting of knives and scissors in Japan. Despite the difficulty in processing hard metals for cutlery, these advanced techniques are used to create scissors. The sharpness of a knife depends on its shape and hardness. When creating scissors the same principles are followed to provide scissors that users will cherish for years. Our scissors are crafted with the highest quality Japanese steel and advanced processing technology, ensuring longevity and performance.

- Silver 3 Super Steel -

With a hardness of approximately HRC60, comparable to carbon steel, Silver 3 Super Steel is highly favored by professionals for its sharpness, durability, ease of sharpening, and maintenance. This stainless steel is unique in that it can be forged, allowing for increased hardness and strength through the forging process.

- Yasuki Hagane White Super Steel -

Yasuki Hagane White Super Steel is made from the finest iron sourced from iron sand, this material undergoes a meticulous process of impurity removal and carbon addition. Tamahagane, renowned for its use in Japanese swords, serves as the raw material for these scissors, boasting a composition closest to that of traditional Japanese swords.

- Yasuki Hagane Blue Super Steel -

Yasuki Hagane Blue Super Steel is a high-carbon steel used for blade material, known for its high hardness and wear resistance. It can endure long-term use, ensuring the blade lasts well and reducing the need for frequent resharpening. Its high hardness allows for an extremely sharp blade with excellent sharpness. However, being made of high-carbon steel, it is susceptible to rust, requiring careful cleaning and storage after use.

- VG10 -

When selecting a scissor for its sharpness, it's important to note that even carbon steel scissors can rust easily and need regular maintenance. Stainless steel knives, while resistant to rust, may not cut as effectively as carbon steel. However, VG10 is a knife steel that offers the best of both worlds. It combines the cutting prowess of carbon steel with the rust resistance of stainless steel, making it an ideal choice for scissors that cut well and resist rust.
