The Niigata 1000 is a superb Japanese hair cutting shear that is made with the highest quality workmanship and scissor steel.
Japanese Super Gold 2 stainless steel - best quality steel used in hair-cutting shears
Super Gold 2 is a powder metallurgy technology that “atomizes” molten steel to form very tiny grains that are uniformly distributed in a durable tempered base material (martensite)
The resulting steel has greater flexibility, fatigue-resistance and wear-resistance than other steel
Smith-forged in Japan by master craftsmen
Creates a silky cut and holds its edge
Comfortable extended-length crane handle
Excellent shear for dry cutting
Internal ball-bearing tension system allows for smoother cutting and adjusting
