These iconic u-shaped scissors are an essential tool for sewing and embroidery. Nigiri means grip, this simple and compact design makes it handy and fast to grip in one hand. Used by Japanese dressmakers and tailors for many years, nigiri scissors are also easy to handle for anyone who loves to work with threads, textiles and other arts & crafts.

Made from high-grade steel, these scissors are hand finished by skilled craftsmen and have an excellent sharpness to them. The thin and pointy blades precisely enables to aim, snip and trim thread and small detail work. The surface treatment is called “Ibushi”, or smoke finish, and this is what gives it the rich black colour.
