Juntetsu Rose Gold Cutting Scissors

The Juntetsu Rose Gold is a solid-blade cutting scissor in SUS440C stainless, hardened to 58-60 HRC, with an offset handle and a convex grind. In the UK we carry it in one specification only: 6.0", right hand.

The colour is a nickel-free decorative PVD colour coating applied over the polished blade. It adds a measure of protection against everyday marking, but no colour film is permanent: it can scratch, wear or lose colour with use, and it will not survive a regrind at the edge. Two honest notes about any coloured coating. It is surface information — it does not change the steel, the edge, or the service interval. And sharpening removes it wherever the edge is reground, so a coloured blade will carry a bright line along the edge after a service.

Nickel-free is a material fact about the coating. It is not a medical assurance and we do not offer it as one: if you have a diagnosed metal allergy, contact us and we will confirm the coating and contact materials with the maker — and speak to a clinician before relying on any of it.

Convex (コンベックス konbekkusu) names the outer grind, with the inner face hollow-ground behind a narrow ride line. The blade line is straight (直刃 chokuba), the line makers associate with capture. Tension runs on a ball-bearing pivot — lower friction than a screw, workable at lower blade tension, and in exchange it wants regular oiling and periodic specialist service.

It ships with the full maintenance kit — tension key, Japanese tsubaki shear oil, silicone finger inserts and a cleaning brush.
