The Nano Powder Metal, with blades at a 30–35° sharp cutting edge angle (image, above right), makes it easy to cut into hair. Many inexpensive or conventional haircutting scissors use blades featuring a less-sharp cutting edge angle, between 40° and 80°, with a greater curvature radius of the edge. These scissors, in addition to a worn and less-tough cutting edge (image, above left), cause the blades to become blunt.

An electron microscopic cross-section image of hair that was cut using the Nano Powder Metal reveals a very smooth cut surface (image, above right). It also shows that hair can be cut almost in a circular shape without becoming “mashed.” When cut using scissors made by another company, however, hair is mashed and cut in an oval shape. A cross-section of the hair shows a rough cut surface (image, left).

Nano Powder Metal
Nano Powder Metal
Our Nano Powder Metal®, made with the new HIP manufacturing method (Hot Isostatic Pressing), is steel fabricated from a fine powder at the nano level. The uniform-grained powder is hardened with high temperature and pressure tempering, essentially eliminating all filler and impurities, and this method is used in precision manufacturing items like Blu-ray disc molds, where high levels of purity are required. At MIZUTANI, in order to create the ideal hair-cutting scissors, we have conducted our own proprietary research with this material, and created scissors with blades that combine strength with a long cutting life and the ultimate sharpness.
THRUST BALL BEARING
THRUST BALL BEARING
These are small, precision metal ball bearings with excellent axial load-bearing ability. Due to their design, which enables radial load-bearing as well, scissors open and close smoothly, which both lessens burden on the hands and contributes to a long cutting life. With anti-rust properties and durability as a matter of course, these bearings are a Japanese-made product.
