These are scissors called "Hikigiri Slim," developed with a craftsman. They appear to be titanium-coated and look like they would cut well (quote). I've been storing them for a while, but they are unused. Please refrain from bidding if you are overly concerned about minor details. Please understand the above before bidding. I sometimes lower the price, but I will also raise it (due to increased packaging material costs). Thank you for your understanding.
