These shears were originally designed for bonsai pruning, but they have become increasingly popular in the kitchen for both professional chefs and home cooks. Forged by Nagaike San, a third-generation blacksmith born in 1939, they reflect the craftsmanship of one of the last remaining makers from a once thriving tradition of Japanese smiths.
The blades are made from high-carbon steel with a C0.85 composition, giving them excellent cutting performance while requiring proper maintenance. As the steel is reactive, the shears should be wiped clean and kept dry after each use to prevent rust.
