From concept, design, to production, this product is made in Seki City, Gifu Prefecture, Japan, known as the "City of Blades." "Seki" is the Japanese pronunciation of Seki City, and "Sound" refers to the striking and grinding noises produced during the knife-making process, giving this original product its name. It boasts not only a high degree of fidelity and intricate detail but also the sharpness expected of scissors. As each pair is sharpened by experienced blade artisans, cutting is smooth and effortless, enhancing the user experience. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51955857659_b4d9019201_z.jpg When you think of scissors, do you picture the common round finger loops and two blades? Of course, there are many scissors on the market today that emphasize functionality and stylish design. Our newly developed electric guitar-shaped scissors, in addition to the sharpness of the blades—a testament to our consistently high standards of craftsmanship—are designed to bring a touch of fun to everyday tasks, enhancing both the experience and your lifestyle. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51954572092_e98b30e242_z.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51954561027_250d146d1d_z.jpg Inspired by the iconic design of the Stratocaster, the most representative model in the electric guitar world, the overall shape has been meticulously crafted. Further attention has been paid to the following details: Reproducing the streamlined curves of the guitar body and its unique double-cutaway design. The blades serve as the guitar neck, complete with six strings and a fretboard. The headstock functions as a protective sheath for the blades, featuring six tuning pegs and the original product logo. *The groove at the tip of the blade (on the side) is designed to ensure a snug fit with the sheath and is not a product defect. *This product is an original design by our company, and intellectual property rights have been applied for. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51956156760_ff79341cf9_z.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51955631758_ce10cb26f8_z.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51955570626_567cacb0c2_z.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51955613058_b49210007a_z.jpg Artisans with years of blade-making experience hand-sharpen each pair of scissors to create exceptionally sharp blades. They can easily cut through paper, plastic, tape, and more. Furthermore, to prevent rust, adhesion to adhesive products, and to extend the lifespan of the scissors, the blade surfaces are treated with a fluorine coating. This allows for effortless cutting of high-tack foam tape, double-sided tape, medical tape, and other adhesive materials. *The black color of the blades is due to the fluorine coating. *Despite the anti-adhesion treatment, some stickiness may occur at the tip of the blade with increased use. It is recommended to wipe off any adhesive with a cloth. If left untreated for extended periods, the anti-adhesion effect and lifespan of the blades may be reduced. *Attempting to cut excessively hard materials poses a risk of blade damage, so please use with caution. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51955624583_6a2837d35c_z.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51955551611_c7ba82de05_z.jpg The blades of our scissors are crafted using the "2-Stage Sharpening" technique. (See illustration below) https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51955610223_aa84fc8669_z.jpg First, a coarse whetstone is used to create a large primary bevel. Then, a finer whetstone is used to create a smaller secondary bevel on the cutting edge (the very tip of the blade's edge). The edge processing, which determines the sharpness of the scissors, is a critical task that relies on expert skill, which is why it is done by our experienced masters. *The silver portion along the blade line in the illustration above represents the stainless steel raw material and the marks from the edge processing. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51955861619_ab53e52906_z.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51954561012_c65ccc941a_z.jpg This series (Seki Sound) is available in two models: "Standard Model" and "Special Model."

Seki City's abundant "pine charcoal," high-quality "quenching clay" for cooling, and the clear waters of the Nagara and Tsumi Rivers attracted numerous swordsmiths, establishing Seki as Japan's premier blade production center. Furthermore, Seki blades possess significant artistic value. Crafted using a unique forging method known as "Seki-den," these swords are renowned for their "hard texture, resistance to breakage, and exceptional sharpness." This tradition of Seki City's sword-making craftsmanship and spirit has been passed down through generations, making Seki one of the world's top three blade production centers. These everyday items are not only indispensable tools but also significant works of art. Whether used as tools or displayed as collectibles, we believe they will bring more comfort and joy to our lives. Sharing this joy with others also makes them ideal gifts for friends and family, expressing your gratitude for their care. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51955624588_d6f68fedc2_z.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51954560962_31f1dd528e_z.jpg About NIKKEN INC.

A1: The blades are made of stainless steel, which is more resistant to rust than ordinary steel. However, prolonged and frequent exposure to water can still cause rust. Therefore, it is recommended to dry them immediately with a cloth after contact with water and store them in a dry place. Additionally, the blade surfaces are treated with a fluorine coating, which provides longer-lasting rust resistance under normal use compared to ordinary scissors. Q2: What should I do if the blades become sticky? A2: Spray a small amount of alcohol onto a cloth and gently wipe the sticky area. When performing maintenance, be careful not to cut yourself on the sharp blades.
