Craft Design Technology scissors in matte black
A stainless steel scissors with matt black fluorine-coated blades – crafted in Japan's Gifu Prefecture, renowned since the Middle Ages for its blade-making tradition. The universal grip design with symmetrical finger loops fits both right- and left-handers equally well. Once you've used these scissors, you'll understand why the cutting experience – silent, clean, effortless – is the real reason they were added to the LUIBAN range.
Features
- Fluorine coating on the blades: The matt black surface is a fluorine coating that prevents adhesive tape or tacky, sticky materials from sticking to the blades. Glue wipes off without residue; the cutting edge stays permanently clean.
- Stainless steel blades with precision grind: The ground blades made from rustproof steel produce a clean, frayed-free cut – equally through paper, packing tape, thin cardboard and craft materials.
- Symmetrical grip design: Both finger loops are identically constructed. Right- and left-handers hold the scissors without restriction or adjustment.
- Manufactured in Gifu/Seki: Gifu Prefecture is home to Seki, one of the world's oldest and most significant blade-making regions – with over 800 years of forging tradition. This heritage shapes the quality of the grind and the care taken with materials.
Use & Tips
- Adhesive tape and packaging work: The fluorine coating makes these scissors particularly suitable for regularly cutting tape and parcel tape – the material doesn't stick and the blade doesn't need cleaning.
- At the desk and in journalling: For precise cuts when using washi tape, paper collages, newspaper clippings and planner inserts. The 18.2 cm length provides sufficient leverage for clean, straight cuts without the scissors looking bulky.
- Care: Keep the blades dry and don't leave them in water. Occasionally apply a drop of blade oil to the screw pivot point to keep the cutting action smooth.
