Japan · Hand-forged scissors
Terazaki Hamono
Terazaki Hamono makes grip scissors the old way. Instead of buying ready-laminated steel, the smith heats raw iron and steel to around 1,000°C and joins and shapes them with a hammer, without moulds. It is slow, difficult work that gives finer detail, better spring and a longer life.
The smith
Kenshi Terasaki
The Kenshi series comes in three blade shapes: claw, long blade and tapered. Tapered blades are favoured by seamstresses and confectioners, while the short claw blade is the most nimble.
Made by total fire construction, sohizukuri, each pair is shaped by hammer from start to finish.
Scissors for a lifetime
With care, a pair of hand-forged grip scissors can last a lifetime of sewing, crafting and everyday cutting.
