The man who cut my hair until just recently when he retired, had some of the sane scissors he had been using since the late 80’s or early 90’s. They were expensive, but so we’ll made that they lasted, and he only had to rarely have them sharpened. I love things like that. They’ve gotten harder and harder to find today. I also have been to Japan a few times, and something that a very much admire about most Japanese, is their patience, cleanliness, appreciation of everything, and how they put such attention to detail and pride in everything that they do. That’s another thing that I feel like a lot of people in other places don’t do anymore. If they ever did at all.

@cgimovieman At one time, the artisans of all cultures took great pride in their work. Indias' artisans still takes great pride in their work and creations. Some remote weaving villages take great pride in their work! However, todays' generations (being born 1957, with older parents), do not have the concentration, focus and patience needed. Not all but some. The other day I watched a small doc on a fashion designer who takes interest in French mens' fashions of the 1940s and '50s. All wonderful but for the shoes! His white buck leather Wallabees were "noticably" dirty and scuffed - so much so I thought they were passing over them - until they focused on the shoes. He likes that "look" on his shoes. He looks pristine and well put together until you get to his feet. Now - - does this mean I can wear my old and worn white buck leather loafers as he does or am I old fashioned? That's all it takes for ones' work to be well polished or not. His shoes give him 95, not 100 😂😂😂

A damn shame really.

So when i was cutting my own hair, i did it with random scissors i found in my parents kitchen. Pretty soon i found out that it didn't a good job at all. My parents also did have a hairdressers set, but those scissors were almost as bad as the kitchen ones. Then i saved up and bought the cheapest ones from a professional shop, those cost me around 30usd and that seemed like an insane amount of money for me for "just" scissors and were more pricey that my parents whole hairdresser set. But the difference was day and night. From that day i knew i would never cut my hair with random household scissors again. About a year later a professional hairdresser stayed about a week at our house and offered everyone free hair appointments to thank us for the stay. So i gave her my 30usd scissors and asked her professional opinion on quality. She said: so glad that i don't have to do it with household scissors 😄👍 but compared to mine, they are beyond bad. I feel the difference immediately and ive never had scissors this bad before. Even for training our school didn't allow this poor quality. That's when i understood.

She's not making money during 'downtime' when the shears are being sharpened, so the ability to hold an edge is critical. Hair shears are really an extension of the person's hand, and they must feel like an extension of the hand to work quickly without wrist or hand pain as barbers and cosmetologists are using them for hours per day every day they work. She has always wanted a nice pair of Naruto shears and may consider a pair in a few years as a gift to herself. She's afraid of how long it will take to get used to them since her current shears are as natural to her as having fingers at this point.

have a friend who is a hairdresser and owns a pair of these. They won them at a competition of some sort. They said the average pair of sheers costs 2-6 hundres usd so this is a big step up haha

Seeing a polished convex grind like that instantly makes me think of Rockstead Knives

As a hairdresser in training, seeing the craftsmanship helps me to better understand why shears are so expensive. Still stunningly expensive but… I definitely will have to invest in a pair in the future 😅

Now this is something I've actually been wondering!!

Japan doing it right as always

I believe the human attention that is put into also has value in itself. The same way a restaurant kitchen that spend some time perfecting your plate, taste much better than an equivalent restaurant rushing your plate like it was some factory work. Attention is key. I would be tempted to have those scissor just because I admire the attention, the love that is put into it.

Scissor making used to be a trade unto itself. I was once asked to make a pinking (Zig Zag cut)shear set. I think it took me 50 odd hours to get the blades so they would cut properly . Those need to be twisted, curled and bent to achieve the correct cut contact. easy to do on on point but take that to 30 and if the last one is loose you have to adjust (normally with a stone) the other 29 to achieve 30 being correct.

I. Had. No. Idea! Much respect for the Japanese un matched attention to detail and passion for perfection in everything they do. The best craftsmen and artist on this earth in my opinion. 🇯🇵👍

These scissors need regular sharpening. At the end of the day, the big difference is making sure the blades are perfectly aligned to minimize wear and still can cut sharply.

The Jaguar scissor company has its youtube video showing how its scissors are made. The difference btwn Jaguar/Naruto seems to be more automation/expensive machinery used by Jaguar but Jaguar also makes more affordable product lines which don't need as many skilled workers.

There's some different level of craftsmanship when it comes to Japanese people
