Cohana Scissors Gold Lacquer

The blades are created by Hasegawa Cutlery, a manufacturer of edged tools established in 1933 and located in Seki, Japan’s foremost cutlery-making town. Blades are forged and hand-fitted by master craftsmen for a sharp edge and a smooth, hitch-free cutting experience. With handles decorated by our partners at Ehara Lacquer Works of Nagoya, each set of scissors displays the elegance of traditional Buddhist lacquer-ware typically reserved for temples. Smooth-fitting and easy to use, the warm lacquer handles are as functional as they are beautiful. Brown handles are finished with the lacquer technique Tamenuri, where two coats of transparent lacquer are layered over a base of vermilion. Each set of scissors comes in a leather case with a gilt tassel, protected by a cloth wrapping. The cloth can be used as a cleaning cloth for the lacquered handles. With proper maintenance they should last a lifetime.
