Where this sits
Manufactured in South Korea.
The HANABI FORTE is a VG-10 Cobalt steel cutting shear with an offset handle and convex blade. VG-10 Cobalt is sourced from Takefu Special Steel and ground to a convex cross-section, which allows the edge to push through the hair rather than dragging — a notable factor for high-volume cutting schedules.
The FORTE name denotes its place in the upper tier of HANABI’s standard cutting range. Offset handle geometry positions the ring finger below the thumb to reduce lateral wrist deviation through the cut stroke.
