Sakura

Overview

Sakura is a Japanese origin scissor brand operated by Sakura Japan LLC, with a mailing address in Windsor, California. The brand produces cutting scissors, thinning scissors, and left handed scissors. Sakura’s specialties include blunt cutting, slide cutting, and point cutting.

Product Range

Sakura states that all of its shears are forged from stainless steel and cobalt materials. The brand highlights what it calls the “Sakura Convex Edge,” which it describes as a proprietary edge finishing technique. All shears come with a money back guarantee and a lifetime warranty against manufacturing or material defects. The brand sits in a mid range price tier.

Sharpening Service

According to Sakura, they offer a factory grade sharpening service backed by over 20 years of experience. The process involves an 8 step honing procedure (not grinding) designed to restore shears to original condition. Pricing is listed at $40.00 for the first shear and $30.00 for each additional shear, which includes return shipping and insurance via priority mail.

Custom & Branded Manufacturing Service

Sakura also offers a custom manufacturing service for salon groups, distributors, and retailers who want to commission shears under their own brand. According to the company, the service covers logo application on existing models through to full bespoke design — custom handle shapes, steel selection, and finishing — worked through from concept to finished product with the Sakura team.

Distribution

Sakura shears are available through Scissor Dude and Scissor City online stores. The brand does not appear to operate a full e-commerce site of its own, though its main site at sakurashears.com provides product and contact information.
