Working with the best Japanese craftspeople and manufacturers, Cohana have produced these very special scissors with traditionally made lacquer handles. The sharp pointed steel blades are made by Hasegawa Co. in Seki, an area renowned for its blade making. They are ideal for cutting threads and fine delicate work. The handles are finished in traditional Japanese lacquer work by the Ehara Lacquer Works in Nagoya. Lacquer* feels warm in the hand, has a wonderful depth and will mellow and improve with use. The scissors come with an attractive leather sheath and are presented in a wooden box with a polishing cloth. These surely are the most beautiful little scissors and make a wonderful and exclusive gift! Available in a rich red shunuri or deep brown tamenuri lacquer, plus occasional limited edition versions to reflect the seasons.

Please be aware of this if you have sensitive skin. Avoid exposing lacquer to extreme light and temperatures.
