Nagaha 105mm – White Steel
These traditional Japanese scissors, known as Nigiri Basami, are hand-forged from a single piece of Japanese Shirogami (White Steel). This high-purity carbon steel is valued for its exceptional sharpness and precision, and is also relatively easy to sharpen, allowing the blade to maintain a fine, keen edge with proper care.
Each pair is crafted by one of the few remaining blacksmiths in the Banshu region of Hyogo Prefecture, an area with a long tradition of metalworking.
The Nagaha features a slightly longer blade than the standard size, at 105 mm. Traditionally used for cutting fabric and thread, its fine and sharp cutting edge makes it particularly well suited to precise work. It is also a versatile tool for everyday use — at MONO JAPAN STORE, we love using it for trimming kitchen herbs and embroidery.
With its elegant silhouette and beautiful finish, this is a small tool made to be appreciated as well as used. Each hand-forged pair is wrapped in locally woven Banshu textile and presented in a Japanese washi paper box, making it a thoughtful gift or a treasured addition to your own collection.
