Our premium line starts with 420 Japanese
Stainless Steel. Much of the production is still done by hand in ?old-world?
traditions. After production we passivate each tool removing the iron content
from the surface area of the steel. This substantially reduces the risk of
corrosion. Next we black oxidize each tool further protecting the product from
rust or corrosion even in the harshest freshwater environmentally. All scissors are further tempered /
emblazed at the tips bringing the hardness to about 47 hrc. This results in
superior cutting performance year after year.
