Where this sits
In TADAKUNI's cutting scissors lineup the TADAKUNI SW Slide Cutting Scissors occupies the premium tier, priced above the TADAKUNI NS Long Cutting Scissors. It uses ATS-314, a Japan premium japanese stainless with a working hardness of 64–64 HRC. Manufactured in Japan.
The TADAKUNI SW is built around ATS-314, the highest-confirmed steel grade in the TADAKUNI cutting range. ATS-314 is a powder-processed stainless alloy with high chromium and molybdenum content, suited to the sustained contact demands of slide and stroke cutting. The convex blade profile allows clean gliding motion through hair without drag.
Available in 5.5” and 6.0”. For current pricing, visit TADAKUNI directly, or see the TADAKUNI brand page on ScissorPedia.
