Tsume 105mm – White Steel
These traditional Japanese scissors, known as Nigiri Basami, are hand-forged from a single piece of Japanese SK5 high-carbon steel. The steel is valued for its sharpness, durability and ability to hold a fine edge.
Each pair is carefully crafted by one of the few remaining blacksmiths in the Banshu region of Hyogo Prefecture, an area with a long tradition of metalworking.
Traditionally used for cutting fabric and thread, these scissors have a fine, sharp cutting edge that allows for precise and effortless snipping. Their versatility also makes them useful beyond sewing — at MONO JAPAN STORE, we love using them for trimming kitchen herbs, embroidery and other detailed everyday tasks.
The simple silhouette and beautiful finish make these scissors as pleasing to look at as they are to use. A small, finely crafted tool to keep and use for years to come.
Each hand-forged pair is wrapped in locally woven Banshu textile and presented in a Japanese washi paper box, making it a thoughtful gift as well as a beautiful addition to your own collection.
