Japanese Tailor's Scissors

Japanese Tailor’s Shears

Hand-forged in Sanjo, Japan

A foundational tool for serious sewing. These professional tailor’s shears are hand-forged in Sanjo, Japan — a region renowned for its centuries-old metalworking tradition — using Shirogami (White Paper Steel), a high-carbon steel prized for its exceptional sharpness and clean cutting edge.

White Paper Steel is known for taking on an incredibly fine, precise edge, allowing these shears to glide through fabric with ease. From delicate linen to structured cotton and wool, the blades cut smoothly without pulling, snagging, or fraying — preserving the integrity of your material from the very first cut.

Balanced at 8.4 oz with 3.9" blades and an overall length of 9.4", they offer weight and control without fatigue, making long cutting sessions feel steady and exact. This is the kind of tool that quickly becomes irreplaceable — the pair you reach for every time.

With proper care and sharpening, these shears will serve faithfully for years, developing into a trusted heirloom at your sewing table.
