Where this sits
In alpha's cutting scissors lineup the alpha SG High-Grade Cutting Scissors occupies the luxury tier, priced between the alpha BM Basic Cutting Scissors and the alpha OG High-Grade Cutting Scissors. Manufactured in Japan.
The alpha SG is a high-grade cutting model from Alpha Scissor Co., manufactured in Kichijoji, Tokyo. Like all alpha high-grade scissors, it uses SG2 powder micro-particle steel (粉末微粒子鋼材ＳＧ２) with a convex edge finish.
The SG line spans multiple variants — SG-M, SG-C, and SG-L — each tuned for slightly different cutting applications within the same steel and handle platform. The offset handle sits at a reduced angle to ease wrist load across long working days.
Titanium coating is available as a factory option. For current variant specs, sizing, and pricing, visit alpha scissors or see the alpha brand page on ScissorPedia.
