SOLD OUT Cohana Winter Limited Edition Small scissors KANTSUBAKI

These small scissors with excellent sharpness are made by Hasegawa Hamono in Seki City, Gifu Prefecture, one of Japan's leading cities for cutlery. The handles are made of pure gold and feature lines of gold lacquer that give off a noble luster. These special scissors have a smooth texture unique to lacquer, and the more you use them, the more you will love them. They come with a white leather case and a snowflake charm, inspired by winter camellias blooming in a snowy landscape.

These small scissors have thin, delicate blades that make them easy to use for detailed work, and are recommended for both crafts and needlework.

The secret to the comfortable sharpness of these small scissors lies in the final process, where the craftsman finishes the blade by hand one by one. In the final sharpening process, the blade is strengthened by "Kobabiki" (a process where the blade is sharpened to make it less likely to chip), and the edge is smoothed by "Sakiri" (a process where the blade is sharpened). The blade is then adjusted to further improve the precision of the sharpness. These final processes require the skilled technique and intuition of the craftsman.
