We were impressed by their quality and the 400 year old traditions that have been preserved and handed down to the current generation. According to the passage, around 400 years ago a Japanese sword smith known as “Yakichi” started to make traditional forged dressmaker’s shears in the Edo (Tokyo) region. At this point in time, dressmaker’s shears and Western clothes were gradually being imported in to Japan from the West and, as they gained popularity, demand grew. After researching these dressmaker’s shears, “Yakichi” began to produce his own shears using many of the same forging techniques and skills that he had previously used to make swords. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eToday, some 400 years later, there are still small areas in Tokyo where several of these traditional forge-smiths and craftsmen continue to produce Traditional Japanese Forged Dressmaker’s Shears. One of these craftsman is called “Sotaro” and he is a 5th generation disciple of “Yakichi”, the original pioneer. From one generation to the next, \"Yakichi’s\" special production methods and passion have been successively passed down from Master to apprentice. Today, \"Sotaro\" produces some of the best quality Traditional Japanese Forged Dressmaker’s Shears that are available. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eWhile there are many machine-made scissors and shears available on the market today, we love the comfortable and smooth cutting action of these hand forged, handmade Traditional Japanese Dressmaker’s Shears. We are proud to introduce these historic shears due to the high quality of their craftsmanship and we have confidence that their Mirror Polished Hitachi Yasugi Hagane (High Carbon Steel HRc. 60-61) blades will serve you faithfully for many years. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003ePlease Note: While the brass pivot bolt and nut can be used to adjust the cutting action of the shears, this should not be necessary as they have already been carefully adjusted by the manufacturer. Similarly, while the shears can be disassembled for sharpening, the manufacturer recommends that this process is only done by a professional sharpening service or a very experienced user.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eYou can select your favorite size at your preference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"100%\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eST-1 Sotaro Traditional Forged Dressmaker’s \/ Tailor’s Shears 230 mm\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOverall Length: 230 mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlade Cutting Length: 95 mm (4 inches approximately)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWeight: 178g　　　\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eST-2 Sotaro Traditional Forged Dressmaker’s \/ Tailor’s Shears 245 mm\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOverall Length: 245 mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlade Cutting Length: 100 mm (4 inches approximately)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWeight: 228g\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e \n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eST-3 Sotaro Traditional Forged Dressmaker’s \/ Tailor’s Shears 260 mm\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOverall Length: 260 mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlade Cutting Length: 110 mm (4 ½ inches approximately)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWeight: 246g\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff2a00;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecification\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eKnife Model: Sotaro \"Tobasami®\" Traditional Forged Dressmaker’s \/ Tailor’s Shears \u003cbr\u003eBlade Material: Hitachi Yasugi Hagane Japanese Carbon Steel\u003cbr\u003eRockwell Hardness (HRc): 60 to 61\u003cbr\u003eHandle Material: Damascus Stainless Steel Handle\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Others","offers":[{"title":"ST-1 230mm","offer_id":34773725380653,"sku":"ST-1","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"ST-2 245mm","offer_id":34773725413421,"sku":"ST-2","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"ST-3 260mm","offer_id":34773725446189,"sku":"ST-3","price":140.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2159\/5123\/products\/sotaro-tobasami-traditional-forged-dressmaker-s-tailor-s-shears-230mm-to-260mm-3-sizes-28477962485805.jpg?v=1627981173"},{"product_id":"japanese-pruning-shears-180mm-to-210mm-3-sizes","title":"Japanese Pruning Shears (180mm to 210mm, 3 Sizes)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff2a00;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan size=\"3\"\u003eDescription\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike most contemporary Western pruning shears and secateurs, traditional Japanese pruning shears have a one-piece forged handle and blade, which uses soft iron or mild steel for the handle and a forge welded layer of high carbon steel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cutting edge stays sharp for a long time and, with a little camellia oil and careful maintenance, Japanese pruning shears should last for many years.
