SWORD® WOOD

From tradition to innovation, our manufacturing methods date back to 1921. At Mizutani, we do not use a cast system, instead, we adhere to our traditional methods of handcrafting our shears from start to finish. Our goal is to maintain the master quality craftsmanship which we have been known for throughout the times, while incorporating innovations such as wooden handles to provide optimal form and function. The Sword® Wood series is a truly innovative design with unique characteristics all of its own. High quality natural wood has been used for the handles, so you will feel the softness and smoothness of the handle. This is combined with the Mizutani cutting edge, making this a remarkable masterpiece. The more you use them, the more this wooden handle forms to your hand, making it uniquely yours to the touch over time.

Our research and development team in Chiba, Japan are at the factory lab day in and day out, continually innovating and creating these scissors with the intentions of you using them daily for the duration of your career. Concept shears get prototyped according to the preference of the artists and users that we work with.
