Kikui Scissors – Cobalt Standard (Off-set)

The cobalt standard model is made from alloy with at least 70% cobalt. It provides the ultimate in cut and edge durability with its lightweight and ergonomic feel. Each shear is handcrafted by our master smiths and comes in level-set and off-set styles. Available in sizes 5.0″, 5.5″, 6.0″, 6.5″, 7.0″, as well as off-set 5.5″ and 6.0″ in gold ($875 and $900, respectively).

Founded in 1953, Kikui Scissors are exquisitely crafted in a small family-owned and -operated factory located in Wakayama, Japan.

Placing emphasis on functionality and performance, Kikui Scissors utilizes an alloy with over 70% cobalt to achieve the perfect balance of durability and ultra-smooth cut. Each pair of scissors is finished by one of three masters, including Mr. Kikui himself.
