The Zanmai Sakura scissors stand out for their impressive durability and razor-sharp cutting edge. Designed with a dual commitment to user-friendly functionality and impeccable aesthetics, they combine practicality with visual appeal, aimed at delivering satisfaction to their users. The creation of these extraordinary scissors is the result of a harmonious partnership between the time-honoured craftsmanship of Seki City, passed down through generations, the integration of state-of-the-art machinery, and the painstaking handiwork of our skilled artisans.

The Forging Process: Forging is a meticulous method that involves applying significant pressure to metal, enhancing its structural integrity while shaping it precisely. In the past, crafting metal objects relied on manual labour, with each piece being painstakingly hammered into shape. However, advancements in manufacturing methods, such as heat treatment techniques like cold forging, have transformed the production process.

Advantages of Forging: Compared to casting, forging compresses the atoms within the material, reducing interatomic spaces, leading to increased tensile strength and hardness. This enhanced strength ensures the material’s resistance to warping when exposed to heat. Cold-forged items exhibit continuous alignment of metal fibers, as they are compressed into shape, in contrast to casting, which forms layered alignments.

Dedication to Cold Forging: We employ various forging techniques based on the intended application and product concept. The Zanmai Sakura scissors are crafted using cold forging, resulting in scissors made from special 6A steel with exceptional hardness and sharpness. In this process, steel is laser-cut and then forged under 200 tons of pressure. This meticulous approach allows the scissors to feature ergonomic curves that fit comfortably in the user’s hand, with cold forging being the exclusive method capable of producing such user-friendly designs.
