Product range
Six Wings models are catalogued. The Silver, Gold, and Pure cutting shears are priced at $500, $500, and $565 respectively — three closely priced cutting builds that likely differ in steel specification and finish. The Matt Black sits at $515. The Custom Shop Silver at $627 and the Custom Shop Dama at $790 represent the upper tier, where the Custom Shop designation indicates a higher-specification build beyond the standard range. All six are cutting shears, which means Wings is a dedicated cutting-shear specialist with no thinning models currently confirmed.
The $500–$790 price band places Wings in the upper-professional and high-end tier for Japanese scissors — a segment occupied primarily by established specialist manufacturers.
