Cutlery steel
YASAKA scissors use stainless special cutlery steel manufactured from raw materials with extremely few impurities.
Its properties are excellent hardness, toughness, abrasion resistance, and sufficient corrosion resistance.
YASAKA scissors have established our own manufacturing method that has been completely vacuum-quenched to the contact point of the world’s first moving and static blade and has been sub-zero processed.
Currently, we use forged and hardened cutlery steel optimized for hairdressing and beauty scissors based on the theory and technology of ancient Japanese swordsmithing.
Our top priority is to provide scissors manufactured using the best materials and technology at affordable prices.
