Japanese Long Thread Snips for Sewing – Forged White Steel 4”
Small overall, but with noticeably more blade reach, these 4-inch Japanese thread snips use a long 1.97-inch blade for makers who want more cutting length without moving to a larger tool.
That Long Blade is the main reason to choose this pair. It reaches farther than the short-blade version while keeping the compact traditional form that makes Japanese thread snips so easy to keep beside the work.
The construction is just as distinctive. Yasuki White Steel #1 forms the hard cutting material, with softer iron behind it for resilience. The two materials are forged together, bringing traditional composite construction into a very small sewing tool.
A dark oxidized finish gives the steel a restrained appearance and helps resist rust. White Steel is not stainless, so keeping the snips dry and applying occasional light oil during storage will help maintain them.
For makers who want extra blade reach and also appreciate the material story behind Japanese cutting tools, this pair combines both in a compact 4-inch format.
Made in Japan.
