Chikamasa professional scissors are based around three key design points - a sharp blade, a strong spring and a comfortable design to reduce hand ache. Manufactured in Japan using high carbon steel for a sharper edge and durability, these spring-loaded scissors are suited to any task, whether it's cutting thick tomato vines or pruning back delicate bonsai trees. The Chikamasa brand is renowned in Japan for scissors that retain their edge even after years of use. The T-552 model we stock also benefits from a slightly longer 4.8cm cutting edge to offer greater versatility.
