ABOUT US
Since our establishment in 1963, we have been making hairdressing scissors
by hand for over 60 years in Takarazuka, Hyogo, Japan.
The combination of our original structure and the craftsmanship that we have
inherited and enhanced over the years produces Naruto scissors.
The hair is cut cleanly and doesn’ t get damaged because of the outstanding sharpness, which has been described as "a soft cutting feeling".
Our original “Three-dimensional circular ride” structure and sharpening skills are taken into consideration with each pair of scissors. Because of this, our scissors can be used for as long as 20 to 30 years.
Each pair of Naruto scissors are handcrafted.
The ideal angle of the blade is 45 degrees, and the blade is finished evenly from the blade bottom to the blade tip while keeping the thickness of the blades. The thickness of the blades creates the softness of cutting.
The blades and parts are mirror-finished one by one by hand so that they can be used for a long time.
The "curve" of the blade, which is important to the cutting feeling, is created by hitting it with a mallet.
Creating about 0.03 mm, which is equivalent to one hair. There is no measuring instrument, and our craftsmen make judgments based on their eyes and experience.
We use a whetstone to create a blade line on the inside of the blade. We sharpen it just right using our senses. Just the right amount, so that it will open and close smoothly.
Metallic dust comes out when we are sharpening. Skill is needed to remove this. If you make a mistake, the scissors will be ruined.

Why Naruto Scissors Last Long

that were once considered consumable items.

Features of Thinning Scissors
Types and Features of Thinning Scissors
There are four basic types: 2suki, 3suki, 4suki, and 5suki, along with a variation series with randomly arranged the basic types. Their distinctive feature is the comb tip, with small grooves arranged in a stepped structure. Hair is distributed into each groove, making thinning lines less noticeable during cutting.
Additionally, the comb blade's teeth bottoms are chamfered on both sides to ensure smooth pullout. This design prevents snags and allows for a gentle, natural cut that's kind to the hair.
There are regular blade (Type S) and reverse blade (Type B) options. The reverse blade is particularly effective for blending and smoothing while trimming.
Comb Blade Tip Shape
The comb blade has various features depending on the shape of its tip.
