Description
Kennomai YM modified cutting scissors series, made in Japan (Tokyo). Offset handle, convex blade. YM-55, YM-60, and short-blade SYM-55 variant.
Where this sits
In Kennomai's cutting scissors lineup the Kennomai YM Cutting Scissors occupies the premium tier, priced above the Kennomai YHC-60 Slide Cut Scissors. Manufactured in Japan.
The Kennomai YM series is the modified cutting line, covering 5.5” (YM-55) and 6.0” (YM-60) blade lengths on an offset handle with a convex blade. The SYM-55 is a shorter-blade variant in the same family: the SY prefix in Kennomai’s naming convention denotes a reduced blade length relative to the standard YM build, giving more blade control for detailed cutting at the same handle position.
All three models are manufactured in Tokyo by Kennomai (parent: 有限会社マンドール). Steel grade is not published on the brand’s official site. For confirmed specifications and current pricing, visit Kennomai’s online store or the Kennomai brand page on ScissorPedia.
