About
KITA IDEA is the scissor line of 株式会社喜田アイディア (KITA IDEA Co.), an Aichi-based maker of equipment for beauty and barber salons: signage, wagons, showcases, interior fittings, and cutting tools. The company sells its shears through Scissors shop Hayashi (Hasamiya Hayashi), a Japanese specialty scissors retailer, alongside other domestic brands in the Hayashi network such as KING CRAFT and S.cosmo.
Product range and steel
The catalogue runs across several model families, including the K2 and KJ series, the K-5500 through K-8000 line, and the SPG thinning series. By the maker’s own descriptions, the K2 and KJ models are cut from a cobalt super-alloy steel, while the SPG series uses a powder high-speed steel. The top-tier K-5500 to K-8000 models are presented as carrying a Japanese-sword finishing tradition. No specific JIS grade is published for these steels.
For current model specifications, steel descriptions, and availability, the authoritative source is the Scissors shop Hayashi storefront, which primarily serves the Japanese domestic market.
