We, at Utsumi, are developing our own unique shears by utilizing the traditional craftsmanship "Chakkou Hizukuri" and our craftsmen's persistent and uncompromised attitude toward the products.

From the Jyo series that are handcrafted one by one by experienced craftsmen, to the Nova series that have consistent high quality due to advantages from high technology, we are continuously developing new shears by collaborating with the world's top stylists. We are emphasizing a continuous search for the needs in developing new shears. We insist these attitudes remain unchanged in the future as well. Our goal is to pursue high quality and perfection without compromise.
