Ishihiro Manufacturing Co., Ltd. | Small children's scissors, 14 round (without blade)

Ishihiro Seisakusho has been making medical scissors for two generations since 1970. We have a workshop in Sumida, Tokyo, where Edo traditions and culture live on. Each pair is still made by hand by second-generation scissors craftsman, Akio Ishida.

The series of household tools made for general household use, including "disassemblable scissors" and "14 round bladeless scissors," This series began with Ishida's desire to "hear what our customers have to say" and "know their reactions."

In 2011, it was certified as "Sumida Modern" as a regional brand product representing Sumida. In addition, their cutting scissors are well-known for their sharpness and quality, and were used in the ribbon-cutting ceremony for Tokyo Skytree in 2012.

Please take a look at the video first. I think you will be able to see the charm of our products, which are made with love.

Scissors for small children made by a scissors craftsman

These are bladeless scissors designed for small children. Normally, scissors have sharp blades that cannot be touched, but the 14 round (no blade) scissors have rounded blades, making them safe for small children to use. They can even cut a single piece of paper when playing with origami. When mom and dad use scissors, their curiosity will make their kids want to try them too. With 14 round scissors (no blade), you can enjoy working with your kids.
Plus, once your child grows and is able to use scissors properly, we'll include blades free of charge (shipping fees not included).

The twist is the key to sharpness

"It can cut even without a blade," says Ishida, "and the important thing is the bite." The scissors made by Ishida have an evenly cut inner blade that forms a smooth arc. He then adds a "twist" that is the key to sharpness. This allows the cutting surfaces to intersect at a single point, allowing the scissors to cut with less force even without a blade.
[Only the blades touch each other]

This process of interlocking is the most important, and requires the skill and experience of a craftsman, something that machines can never replicate. Ishida's scissors make use of the know-how he has cultivated in the manufacture of medical scissors, and are characterized by their smooth movement and the feeling that the blades stick together when cutting.
[The back edge of the blade becomes less visible as it approaches the tip. This is because it has an inward twist (photo shows scissors).]

Making strong scissors

To create strong scissors that are hard and resilient, we use a type of stainless steel called "SUS420J2," which can be hardened. Hardening is done at 1030 degrees for two hours, and then tempered at 180 degrees to create a strong pair of scissors. Stainless steel is rust-resistant, and the scissors are hard and resilient, allowing you to use them for a long time.

We accept name engraving

Founded in 1970, the company has been manufacturing medical scissors since its founding. While making medical scissors, second-generation owner Akio Ishida began using his skills to make scissors for general household use, driven by a desire to "hear what customers have to say" and "know their reactions." In 2011, 2013, and 2016, the company won the Sumida Modern Award. In 2012, their "cutting scissors" were used in the ribbon-cutting ceremony at the Tokyo Skytree, and they have received high praise from all quarters.


These scissors are designed for small children and have no blades. The blades are rounded, so they are safe for small children to use. They can cut a single piece of paper, such as when making origami.
