Banshu Hamano - Handmade Utility Scissors

These multi-purpose shears can crack open nut shells, and open bottle caps, and the hilt tabs can be used to open paint cans. Each piece is painstakingly made by hand by skilled craftsmen using the same techniques employed for generations.

The blacksmith industry in the Banshu region in the Hyogo prefecture of Japan was said to have started long ago when a Katana factory was located there. What began as an industry producing straight razors in 1744 now manufactures a variety of products, including utility knives, traditional Japanese straight razors, Japanese gripping shears used for cutting thread, pruning shears, and floral shears.
