About Prose

Durable, Strong portable grip scissors from Banshu Japan

Details

A handy tool that is often used in sewing for picking stitiches and cutting threads, the grip scissors are unique in that they have a flexible spring action that has been built into the handle. The traditional grip scissors is made using only a single rod of iron. This version of the signature grip scissors features the blue steel blade which is hand-forged, making it even stronger, more durable and resistant to wear.

Its versatility makes it the most common used cutting tool in the Japanese household.  It is not only used in sewing work, but also to trim small leaves in Bonsai, and even used by editors to cut film in the Japanese movie studios.

Due to the handmade nature of the product, any irregularity/imperfection does not consider as a defect.

Like all carbon steel tools/knives, they can rust if not cared for properly.  Please make sure to wipe them clean and dry after use.  If you're planning on storing them for an extended period of time, we recommend oiling them with Tsubaki (camelila) oil or mineral oil.
