Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Sakura Thinning scissors part of the Premium line despite using 440C?
Yes. The Premium Series Sakura uses 440C steel rather than VG-10. The premium designation here refers to the design and finish quality rather than a steel upgrade. For VG-10 thinning, look at the Taiyo or Tsuki models.
