Product detailed description

Japanese Nigiri Black Scissors 502 by Misuzu Hasami

Nigiri Basami are the most common scissors in Japan. They are forged from one piece of steel, exceptionally light, and comfortable to hold. Their simple construction is designed for easy and quick use. They are mainly used for sewing and general manual tasks around the home or studio. They can be used for herbs or other small kitchen tasks. When cutting, they are held at the blade similar to tweezers. Type no.502 has a wide waist (spring section), making it comfortable to hold and allowing for cutting even thicker materials. The scissors are made of carbon steel. This is a product of the highest quality, each hand-forged with traditional techniques passed down from generation to generation. The surface is treated with a rust-resistant ibushi finish, developing a pleasant patina over time.

JP Misuzu Scissors Co., Ltd., 118 Kurokawa-cho, Ono City, Hyogo Prefecture 675-1371, 0794-62-5711, misuzu@misuzu-hasami.co.jp CZ Tokyo Tools s.r.o., Slovinská 652/19, Praha 10, 10100, CZ, 773707811, info@tokyotools.cz

Material

The scissors are made of a composite material consisting of the best knife-making carbon steel Shirogami White Steel #1 and soft iron. By covering hard steel with soft iron, the blade has increased toughness, is highly durable, and easy to sharpen. This is a traditional technique that was also used for Japanese swords. The surface is polished. 

Maintenance

Steel with a higher carbon content (known as carbon steel) offers higher sharpness, easier sharpening, but requires more care compared to stainless steel. The scissors need to be oiled regularly, preferably even before first use. Keep the carbon steel blade clean and dry after use. After cleaning, apply a thin layer of oil - preferably camellia, but virtually any household lubricant will suffice. This layer of oil protects the scissors from moisture and corrosion.  For extended storage, again we recommend preserving with suitable oil, or wrapping the scissors in a piece of cloth or paper. Patina formation is common with carbon steel and is not a material defect.

When I was only sewing for myself, I would set up the sewing machine and everything around it on the kitchen table.
