Made for the frequent small cuts of sewing and handwork, these 5-inch Japanese thread snips combine a short blade with the extra material interest of Yasuki Blue Steel.

The 1.77-inch short blade keeps the cutting point close for trimming loose threads and thread ends, while the 5-inch overall size gives a little more room in the hand.

What sets this pair apart is the steel. Yasuki Blue Steel is a Japanese high-carbon steel valued for wear resistance and its ability to maintain cutting performance through repeated use. Chromium and tungsten are added to the steel, contributing to the material properties that make Blue Steel distinctive among Japanese cutting-tool steels.

The dark oxidized finish gives the snips a restrained traditional appearance.

For a small tool that may be picked up dozens of times during a project, Blue Steel makes this pair especially interesting: traditional thread snips with a distinctly Japanese blade material behind the cutting edge.

Made in Japan.
