Ichiro Offset Cutting Scissors are 440C stainless steel cutting scissors with a convex edge, semi-sword section, offset handle and ball-bearing pivot. Five right-handed sizes run from 5.0" to 7.0", with a tension key and maintenance kit supplied.
The Ichiro Offset is a cutting scissor in 440C stainless steel, hardened to 58–60 HRC and made in Japan. Its five right-handed sizes run from 5.0" to 7.0". Each combines an offset handle, convex edge, semi-sword section, precision tip and polished finish with a ball-bearing pivot.
Every build uses the same ball-bearing pivot, and a tension key accompanies the scissors. Size is the selectable part of the range, while the edge, section, handle and polished finish remain fixed. The five available cutter size classes are 5.0", 5.5", 6.0", 6.5" and 7.0".
The package includes scissors, a maintenance cloth, care guide and reusable cushioned box. The bonus maintenance kit adds Japanese tsubaki shear oil, silicone finger inserts and a cleaning brush.
