Where this sits
In Yamajo's cutting scissors lineup the Yamajo Cobalt Step Cut Plus Cutting Scissors occupies the entry-level tier, priced below the Yamajo Cobalt Basic Cutting Scissors. Manufactured in South Korea.
The Yamajo Cobalt Step Cut Plus is a 5.5” cobalt steel cutting scissor with an offset handle and convex blade. Yamajo has manufactured scissors in Daegu, South Korea since 1991, and cobalt steel is the material grade they publish for the Step Cut Plus line.
At 5.5” the blade suits detailed cutting — fringes, perimeter lines, and close section work where a shorter arc gives more control. The offset handle lowers the thumb ring, reducing forearm rotation through precision passes.
For current pricing, visit Yamajo Mall or see the Yamajo brand page on ScissorPedia.
