Less spectacular than nihonto (samurai swords) and wabocho (chef's knives), Japan's scissors are nevertheless amazing examples of cutlery that combine functionality and craftsmanship at a level barely indistinguishable from art. Especially when it comes to the output of the city of Seki in Gifu Prefecture, people often find it hard to believe that something as pedestrian as a pair of scissors can be so well made, balanced, and beautiful. The Stellar Edge Scissors are one such pair that will make you rethink the whole concept of scissors!
Made exclusively of blade-quality stainless steel, the Stellar Edge Scissors weigh 68 g (2.4 oz), measure 171 x 61 mm (6.7 x 2.4"), and have a blade length of 80 mm (3.1"), which makes them perfect for everyday use. As for their ring handles, the craftspeople abandoned the standard round holes for a more daring, asymmetrical design that remains very ergonomic while at the same time making the Stellar Edge very different from any other scissors you have used before. As for the smoothness of the cutting action, it has to be felt to be believed!
