Overview
SCISSORS JAPAN is a Japanese scissor manufacturer based in Kurobe City, Toyama Prefecture. The company operates under Scissors Japan CO. LTD and emphasizes artisan craftsmanship over mechanized production. According to the brand, it prioritizes hand skills over data driven manufacturing methods.
SCISSORS JAPAN has developed two proprietary technologies. The first is LSBS (Limitlessly Shallow Back Surface), which replaces the traditional concave hollow on the back of the blade with a flat surface. According to the brand, this creates consistent blade angles from heel to tip and extends the lifespan of the scissors by making them less affected by repeated sharpening. The second is CTN (Catch Triangle Notch), a patented system of triangular notches on the stationary blade that prevents hair from slipping during cutting.
Product Range
SCISSORS JAPAN produces cutting scissors and thinning scissors. The brand covers slide cut, blunt cut, base cut, dry cut, and wet cut techniques. The pivot area uses a circular bearing design that the brand calls a “circular three-dimensional contact point,” intended to stabilize blade pressure during use.
The brand uses a semi-order system. Stylists can select blade lines, blade shapes, thinning rates, and handle sizes to match their technique and hand size. According to the brand, this customization process requires several weeks for delivery. The CTN hair gripping feature comes in two versions: one optimized for wet cutting and one for dry cutting.
Distribution
SCISSORS JAPAN products are available through HIVE SCISSORS, the Kittemi secondhand marketplace, and the Refun online store. The brand is positioned in the mid to upper price range.
