Takeshi Scissors
SHIDEN
SHIDEN .
Cutting scissors made of JAPAN-440c steel with BAMBOO blade, that is, with a wide belly, which makes them perfect for SLIDING CUTTING .
The forged tang together with the handle and the OFF-SET grip ensure a more comfortable elbow position.
The mechanism used is the SFR (single clutch) one, and is by definition the classic mechanism, which guarantees good stability and good tension even over time.
It consists of a plastic gasket, a pin and a copper clutch.
The name, which translated from Japanese means "Purple Lightning" , indicates the comparison with a lightning bolt, a point, which from top to bottom and at great speed, tears the sky and disperses the light into different colors, just like the movement of these scissors on the hair during use.
Available exclusively in 6.0 INCH size.
