In 1973, we developed the world’s first cobalt alloy styling scissors. The cobalt alloy, which is made from approximately 70% of the rare metal cobalt, never rusts. When fashioned into scissors, the edge is known to retain its sharpness for a long time. Turning this alloy into scissors is not easy, however, and there are a limited number of craftspeople in Japan who can do so. Our proprietary processing technology fashions the Cobalt models with sharp edges and sophisticated design, creating a tool that can be treasured and used for decades. Now, over 40 years since they were first developed, our cobalt alloy scissors are still well loved by many stylists.
