Dating back to 1792, KIYA is a Japanese kitchenware brand known for its high-quality traditional utensils and cutting tools. These Nigiri hand scissors are an ancient type of sewing snip with sharp edges that slice through thread and make small, precise cuts in fabrics. The incredibly light Japanese-steel scissors offer superb control and comfort in your hand whether you’re snipping material, paper or herbs. Selector's Notes: Forged from a single piece of steel, Japanese Nigiri scissors rely on an automatic spring motion caused by thumb and forefinger pressure on the thin handles. Like all carbon steel blades, these should be kept clean and lightly oiled to avoid corrosion. Item Details - MATERIALS: Japanese-steel ORIGIN: Japan DIMENSIONS: 11 x 2.5 x .5 cm, length 105mm
