Masamune Tailor’s Shears 240mm White Grade are manufactured by Yoshioka Hamono. Although perhaps more famous now for their topiary shears and secateurs these days, it was actually these tailor’s shears that initially put Yoshioka Hamono on the map in 1946, establishing themselves as masters of blades. Yoshioka Hamono is located in Ono, a region renowned for its steel forges and expertise in metal work. With a history dating back 1,200 years, the blacksmiths of Ono rival those of the northern Japanese city of Sanjo (Tsubame) in Niigata. Since 1946, Yoshioka Hamono have been producing a wide range of <\/span>garden shears<\/span> and tailors\u2019 scissors. Their legendary <\/span>curved topiary shears<\/span><\/a> and Black Masamune Secateurs<\/a> in particular have also earned them many enthusiastic fans all around the world.<\/span><\/p>\n

Japanese scissors for all sewing enthusiasts<\/b><\/h3>\n

Shokunin Store celebrates diversty and inclusivity. These shears are not just super sharp and well-made, but also inclusive as they also come in left-handed model. Making good scissors is difficult enough, but producing high-quality left-handed scissors is an even greater challenge. Unfortunately, left-handed scissors are scarce in the market and there are a few reasons for this. It is technically harder to make them. Additionally, there is less demand for left-handed scissors, which makes it harder for manufacturers to profitably produce them. This makes it harder for manufacturers to make left handed products profitable. As a result, many makers shy away from left-handed scissors.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Thanks to Yoshioka Hamono, who have always stood on the users’ side. They are committed to their customers and recognise the importance of producing products that cater to diverse users.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

These 24cm fabric shears are ideal for cutting from bolts of fabric or larger pieces. Even with delicate, light-weight fabrics such as silk, georgette or lace, you can rely on these scissors to cut effortlessly and straight.<\/span><\/p>\n

Masamune tailor’s shears are made for life<\/b><\/h3>\n

Masamune Tailor’s Shears White Grade are made from White Paper (Shirogami No.2) Grade Hitachi Yasugi Steel. It is a premium steel that many makers use to produce items such as high quality Japanese kitchen knives. These hand forged tools are made to last and to retain their sharpness for a long time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The great thing about these shsers is that you can sharpen (or get them sharpened) if you ever feel the need for it. These hand forged shears last a lifetime if properly looked after. This longevity means that these traditionally crafted shears are great sustainable products – even more relevant and important now than ever before. Let us all get a decent pair and pass them on for generations. These shears make a great gift for anyone with sewing projects. They come in a beautiful gift box.<\/span><\/p>\n

history of Japanese tailor’s shears<\/b><\/h3>\n

These tailor\u2019s shears are called \u201crasha\u201d scissors in Japan.\u00a0 The word \u201crasha\u201d comes from \u201craxa\u201d, derived from the old Portuguese word for \u201cthick, coarse cloth\u201d. Western-style scissors are believed to have been introduced to Japan in the mid 19th Century.\u00a0 The Japanese adjusted the western scissors to suit their use, making them more compact, lighter and sharper.<\/span><\/p>\n

Care Instructions<\/strong>
\n– Keep in a dry place
\n– Do not leave them wet
\n– Do not sharpen the back of the blades. The secret of Japanese scissors is in the back of the blades.
\n– To maintain the sharpness and if you are not using them for a while, say 6 months, we recommend you apply a drop of Japanese camellia seed oil<\/a>\u00a0around the rivet. \u00a0Open and close a few times and wipe off any excess oil.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
