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

Ishihiro Seisakusho has been making medical scissors for two generations since 1970. Our workshop is located in Sumida, Tokyo, where Edo traditions and culture live on. They are still made by hand, one by one, by second-generation scissors craftsman Akio Ishida.

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

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

Small children's scissors made by a scissors craftsman

These are scissors without blades designed for small children. Normally, scissors have sharp blades that cannot be touched, but the 14 round (no blade) scissors have rounded blades, so they are safe for small children to use. You can even cut a single piece of paper with them, for example when playing with origami. When mom or dad uses scissors, children will be curious and want to try them out too. With 14 round scissors (no blade), you can enjoy working with your children.
In addition, when your child grows up and is able to use scissors properly, we will provide you with a free blade (shipping fee not included).

The key to sharpness is the twist

"It can cut even without a blade," says Ishida, "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" to the scissors, which is the key to their sharpness. This allows the cutting surfaces to meet at a single point, so that the scissors can be cut with less force even without a blade.
[Only the blades touch each other]

This process of interlocking the teeth 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 of the blades sticking together when cutting.
[The back edge of the blade becomes invisible as it approaches the tip. This is because it is twisted on the inside (photo shows dressmaking scissors).]

Make a strong pair of scissors

To make strong scissors that are hard and resilient, we use stainless steel called "SUS420J2" that can be quenched. They are quenched at 1030 degrees for 2 hours and then tempered at 180 degrees to make them very strong. Stainless steel is rust-resistant, and is hard and resilient, so you can use these scissors for a long time.
