Pushing for Better Scissors – MIZUTANI’s Little-Known Quality Inspection

This photo shows the inspection process at MIZUTANI Scissors factory.
We carefully check not only for visible scratches but also aspects that can only be assessed by human senses, such as “sharpness of blade” and “smoothness of opening and closing”.

Above all, what we value most is sensory inspection performed by former hairdressers.
Professional hairdressers and barbers open and close their scissors hundreds of times a day.
That’s why the lighter the initial engagement of the blades – the moment they begin to cut – the less strain there is on the hand and the easier to create the clean lines.

During inspection, we actually cut human-hair wigs, carefully checking even the slightest resistance. It’s not enough that the scissors simply “cut.” We focus on whether the feel at the very start of the cut and the smoothness of opening and closing are genuinely comfortable.
We are deeply committed to the “very first sensation”.

Because we at MIZUTANI aims to create scissors that can be used for 30 years, we take our standards this far. We believe it is this uncompromising attitude that is the reason our scissors continue to be loved for so long.

Refurbished products at a great price are now available!

Refurbished products are scissors that have been properly maintained from scissors that had been discarded because of old models, small scratches, uneven coloring, etc., although there are no performance problems.

By avoiding discard as much waste as possible, it is not only earth-friendly but also more reasonably priced than usual.
