These are made by blacksmith Umeki Shoji at the Umeki Hontane Scissors Factory.
Umeki's scissors are very rare and are completely hand-forged, starting from the forging process.
The most distinctive feature of these scissors is their twisted blade, called "neri."
This "kneading" process sharpens the blade every time the blades meet at a single point.
These wonderful scissors have been designated as a National Intangible Folk Cultural Property (Folk Technique) and a traditional craft of Kagoshima Prefecture.
We use it in our shop, and every time you cut you can feel the sharpening sound.
These are impressive scissors.
