Nigiri Basami (Japanese Grip Scissors)
Nigiri Basami (Japanese Grip Scissors) is perfect for cutting threads and fabrics in detailed or small parts.
Osami Mizuike who lives and works in Ono, a city in the Banshu region in the Hyogo prefecture, is now the only veteran craftsman in Japan who can make the grip scissors by hand-forging a stick of iron and a pair of small steel. Unlike metal mold casting, the craftsman can make the scissors in any sizes and shapes with this hand-forging process. Mr. Mizuike still deals with all kinds of custom orders from different makers across Japan. Indeed, hand-forged grip scissors are the tools that support other makers and craftsmen. In 2015, Kenshi Terasaki joined him to become an apprentice to inherit his skills, and he has been training Mr. Terasaki since then.
Japanese high-carbon steel is used for the blade, which makes it sharp and wear-resistant. By sharpening regularly, the product lasts for a long time.
Note: Do not use the scissors to cut hard objects such as metal and wood as it may result in a chipped blade.
