Description from the seller

These are professional-grade tailoring shears from Shosaburo (Toto), a renowned Japanese brand with a century-long legacy. Crafted using composite forging with high-carbon steel and featuring precision-ground beveled edges, they cut smoothly through cotton, linen, silk, and leather without snagging. The ergonomic, baked-enamel handle is cast as a single unit, with finger loops designed for comfort during extended sewing sessions, while the central brass rivet allows for adjustable tension.

Shows signs of normal use.
