Creating “Attachment” Through Long-term Use Thank you for visiting the S-Gate website. Hair scissors have various elements - “sharpness,” “cutting quality,” and “ease of use.” Beyond practical aspects, there are also elements like “luxury” and “style.” S-Gate pursues and challenges these aspects while working with scissors. In this era of mass production and mass consumption, there’s something we must not forget: the “attachment” that develops through pouring soul into a single tool and using it for years to come. S-Gate scissors are crafted with care for both the person cutting hair and the person receiving the cut, meticulously made one by one with skill, passion, and pride. We also provide thorough post-purchase maintenance support tailored to each individual customer. Our goal is to create scissors that foster “attachment” by having as many people as possible discover and use our carefully crafted scissors for years to come. We aim to be scissor craftsmen who share this attachment and walk alongside our customers as partners, dedicating ourselves daily to our craft. S-Gate values human connections and strives for heartfelt manufacturing, delivering the ultimate partner (scissors) to you. S-Gate Representative: Shigemichi Sugiki

Personal observation: What really stands out about S-Gate is their philosophy around creating tools with soul. In an industry where we often go through multiple shears, their focus on building long-term relationships with individual scissors is refreshing. Their maintenance approach - treating each pair like it was originally crafted - really shows in the edge quality after service. The direct connection to the craftsman means you're not just buying scissors, you're investing in ongoing partnership for the life of the tool.
