Tsubame Scissors Information

TSUBAME SCISSORS - JAPANESE PRECISION, PROFESSIONAL RESULTS 100% HANDCRAFTED Tsubame Scissors have been one of the most popular hair styling scissors among the top professional hair stylists throughout the world for its impeccable quality and superb usability. All Tsubame Scissors are 100% handcrafted by a team of highly skilled craftsmen at the manufacturer in Tsubame, Japan. From cutting steel to polishing for the finish, each shear receives the closest attention throughout the process to ensure the highest quality. MATERIAL We use the highest class of steel that appropriately contains the right amount of cobalt, molybdenum and vanadium. Each scissors has its own unique function and our goal is to create the best scissors for each purpose by choosing proper steel to begin with. For example, the Dragon and Phoenix Series use Japan VG15 Steel that contains 40% or more cobalt which gives stylists a softer and sticky cutting experience. Our mainstream 3-Stars Scissors line uses Japan VG-1 Steel which can deliver extremely strong durability with its high level of rockwell hardness. The 2-Stars Scissors line uses Japan 440C Steel that delivers a decent performance at an affordable price. Our scissors are hardened by the special heat-treatment process called “sub-zero process”. Heated by the high temperature of 1000C+ degrees, then cooled quickly in the -100C degrees. Repeating this process makes the scissors extremely strong and hardly distort.
