2 2 100% Handcrafted Mizutani Scissors have been one of the most popular hair styling scissors among the top professional hair stylists throughout the world for their impeccable quality and superb usability. All Mizutani Scissors are 100% handcrafted by a team of highly skilled craftsman at the factory in Chiba, Japan. From cutting steel to polishing for the finish, each shear receives the closest attention throughout the 30 step process to ensure the highest quality. History The tradition of the Mizutani began in 1921 in Asakusa, Tokyo where the first Mizutani decided to produce the best quality hair styling scissors. His passion was to make scissors that are razor-sharp and durable yet easy-to-handle at the same time. Over the years we have continued to focus on improving our craftsmanship to produce the highest quality scissors in the industry. Our very first worker was a Samurai Sword maker.
