As I had the honor of designing the ‘Pink Flamingo Bloody Butcher edition’ scissors with the always positive creative designing team from MIZUTANI, which where the fastest selling scissors in their impressive history, I was asked to design new scissors with them.
 
I did not have to think twice as you can imagine.
 
I love interior design, so as I was designing my new house interior in early 2020, heavily inspired by the period from 1920’s - 1970’s, mixing African art sculptures and design patterns with raw brutalist materials, I started to envision these brutalist inspired scissors.
 
Brutalism is not concerned with the material as such but rather the quality of the materials and seeing them for what they are, so a match made in heaven in my mind with MIZUTANI.
 
After meeting with the craftspeople and learning about the creation of the scissors by MIZUTANI the only challenge was my own impatience, having to wait to finally have them in my hands.
 
It was in this sculpture and handcrafting stage that I decided to blend quality and function with art and it truly came to life, why not hold something beautiful in your hands all day.
 
I had the opportunity to express myself through these scissors, it might not be for everybody but it reflects where I was at that moment and where I still am.
 
When you’re coming up with creative things, if you even get close to what you had envisioned in your mind’s eye, that’s great. What absolutely amazes me is that the scissors came out even better than I had envisioned. “Art Craft Collection”, A beautiful piece of quality art in your hands all day.

Nano Powder Metal
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.
