This set of Japanese scissors "Oire Nomi" includes 10 scissors with widths of 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42mm and a length of 220mm. These are tools directly imported from Japan. The handles are made of Japanese boxwood "Gumi".
The Ura (shape on the back of the iron) are well executed. They are black (annealed after shaping). These are scissors of the brand "Yusuke", they are supplied in a kiri box, a paulownia box that will protect them from humidity. The ferrules are hammered by hand. The last craftsman who did this in Miki will soon retire.
These "Oire Nomi" scissors are short, they are 220mm. They are therefore perfectly suited to carrying out small, precise jobs. These Japanese scissors are difficult to find in this quality. These are excellent scissors to discover something more high-end and to deepen the use of such scissors.
Like all new scissors, a fine sharpening is to be expected, as well as the adjustment of the ferrule. Yes, generally manufacturers roughly sharpen their production to save time. In Japan it is always up to the purchaser of the tool to finalize and adapt the tool to his own use, it is a philosophy of the tool ... I will provide all the advice to be able to obtain an adjustment.
With these tools, you can discover Japanese tools. For cabinetmakers, sculptors, carpenters, or simply DIY enthusiasts.
