NakabayashiStationery Hikigiri Slim Scissors for Delicate Cutting (Dark Gray)

I have had these scissors for over a year. We use them as everyday scissors for paper, tape, and cutting other thin material. We keep them in the kitchen drawer so we use them all the time. They are very sharp and have remained sharp. The shape of the blade is good. They are thin and light weight. The two sides are connected by a rivet and cannot be tightened. This has not been a problem as there has not been any noticeable wear at the pivot point. They would not be a good pair of scissors for a person with large hands as the finger holes are small. I would buy these again or send them as a gift.

Sleek pair of scissors purchased for standard office tasks (eg, paper, string, tape). Feels well-made in a very slim profile. Black metal is a nice smooth matte finish. Very sharp.

The scissors are nice but the finger holes are too small for a comfortable grip and they tend to twist when cutting through heavier material. Great for light work though

I started doing punk rock and horror style collages and I saw that an artist I follow recommend this scissors and without knowing much about the subject I ordered them and know I understand why the praise.They are a joy to use.

These are nicely made scissors that cut reasonably well through various materials. Initially I had wanted a pair of scissors that could occasionally cut through cloth and paper but these tend to struggle with fabric. They do sit well in the hand when used and easily cut into paper and cardboard, supposedly the fluorine coating helps keep adhesive from sticking onto the blades but I haven't used them enough to determine the validity of that. While I should have read the finer print, the picture pointing towards and bold name "Seki" on the box as the place where these scissors are made isn't true as they are made in China. On the whole they will probably hold up, though there isn't an easy way to tighten the rivet once it loosens; many Japanese-made scissors with a rivet have more of an edge that you can tap on with a hammer when they loosen. As a pair of scissors for less than $15, they are pretty good.

I use these scissors daily to cut collage pieces. They cut paper like a dream. The only thing I’m not thrilled with is the size of the openings where your fingers go. The smaller ones rub against your thumb. I tried to put a little cushion on it and that helped. But I do love these scissors so much.

These work very well, they are comfortable. Good quality.

I was very disappointed to see “Made in China” printed on what i thought were famous Japanese scissors coming from a cutlery maker with a long Japanese history. They are cheaply made - i was not surprised after reading where they were made.C’est La Vie.

見た目も、切れ味も、持ちやすさも良いです。

Love these scissors they are so easy to use sharp as, and a wonderful tool in my supply....

普通の切れ味です。でも、なんかカッコ良いので満足です。

ナカバヤシという名前で、日本の誇れる刃物屋さんだと思い、購入。確かに紙は、サクサク切れるが、絆創膏などの粘着テープは、刃に粘着物が貼り付いて、切りにくい。１００円ショップのギザギザ刃キッチンバサミを再購入。こちらのほうが、粘着テープもサクサク切れた。残念！
