– What is Japanese shears
What makes these Japanese shears so special is their long history of craftsmanship. Unlike modern scissors these shears rely on a traditional Japanese blade forging method (similar to Samurai swords). Because of a unique combination of high quality blade steel and very soft steel they can keep their sharpness and are long-lasting. However, this also means they are delicate and you need to look after them very carefully.

These shears are only suitable for professional use:

• Do not cut anything other than what it is meant for.
• Do not drop your shears. This might ruin the alignment of the blades as they are only joined together at one point.  
• Once you start using them, do not lend to other people because the shears will adapt to your hand.

They also require maintenance so you can use them for a lifetime. You will need to get them sharpened when they become less smooth for which we recommend going to a professional sharpener. There is one sharpener in London which we highly recommend called Kataba.
