Japanese tailor shears

The outstanding cutting quality of Shozaburo shears is due to the excellent traditional techniques cultivated over many years using refined materials as blade steel. In the old days, they relied on the hands of people to make the shape of the handle part, to attach the blade metal, to forge, to sharpen and so on. Today, most of the processes are able to be automated, but the most important process of "adjusting the two blades for optimal rubbing" is still done by skilled craftmen by hand, one by one, with atmost care. Shozaburo's shears are not only a uniform product by automation, but also are finished with a subtle sense of care that only human skills can do.

 

 

 

Care Guide

• Wipe off any oil applied to the shears before use, to avoid staining the material you are cutting. Please be careful of sharp edges while wiping.

• The edges of your scissors are extremely sharp. Please cut soft cloth several times before use. Cutting thick or hard cloth from the start may damage the blades.

• Use the tip of the blade to cut threads and thin items short.

• When cutting thick materials, open and close only the part of the blade closest to the scissors' screw.

• It is advised not to cut paper or other materials harder than cloth. The chipping on the blades might occur due to the shears' thin blades.

• After use, wipe off any dirt and dust with a soft cloth and lightly wipe the underside of the blade and the screw part with a cloth with a drop of sewing machine oil, and store it in a safe place.

• High quality shears should be sharpened by a profeccional or by the skilled use of a sharpening stone or wheel, to maintain the integrity and original angle of the edges.
