Tajika Branch Scissors

Description:
These scissors are ideal for trimming unwanted segments of thicker diameter branches and roots. Made from antique molds, these scissors have a vintage design with a forged-iron finish, but cut like modern scissors with thick blades and beveled edges. They also have a comfortable grip to accommodate left and right-hand use.

Variation:
All parts of these scissors are hand-made with antique molds. Each pair has its own unique shape and texture.

History:
Tajika Haruo Ironworks, located in Ono city, is a 4th generation business producing handcrafted scissors and shears since the Showa period. Father and son, Takeo and Daisuke Tajika, forge, shape and sharpen each piece by hand – using techniques handed down for centuries. Tajika is one of the very few businesses in Japan still crafting scissors by hand. Each scissor is a masterpiece, perfected over many lifetimes.

Measurement:
7″ x 3 1/2″

Materials:
Iron (blade and handle), plastic (blade case)

Care Instructions:
Please wipe clean with a soft cloth before use – these scissors were pre-lubricated when shipped from Japan. Continue lubricating with oil from time to time at the screw that connects the two blades. To prevent rust, thoroughly wipe scissors free of moisture after every use. Then, place the plastic sheath over blades to protect them and help maintain a sharp edge. Iron matures beautifully, expect and cherish the changes that will appear as your scissors age.
