Description
High-grade cutting scissors from Alpha Scissor Co. in Kichijoji, Tokyo, built with SG2 powder micro-particle steel and a convex edge. Titanium coating available as an option.
Where this sits
In alpha's cutting scissors lineup the alpha PR High-Grade Cutting Scissors occupies the luxury tier, priced above the alpha OG High-Grade Cutting Scissors. Manufactured in Japan.
The alpha PR is Alpha Scissor Co.’s high-grade cutting model, produced at the brand’s workshop in Kichijoji, Tokyo. Blades are ground from SG2 — the brand’s own designation for powder micro-particle steel (粉末微粒子鋼材ＳＧ２) — and finished with a convex edge geometry.
The offset handle reduces wrist deviation during extended cutting sessions. Titanium coating is offered as a factory option across most alpha models, including the PR; the coating adds surface hardness without altering the underlying blade geometry.
