Diawood High Class Fabric Tailor Scissors Stainless SKD-11 260 mm Black

SUMMARY

For professional tailoring, dressmaking and garment alterations, the Diawood High-Class Black 260 mm scissors offer a larger alternative to the Black 240 mm for cutting fabric at the worktable. The blades use stainless steel 18Cr and Hitachi SKD-11, paired with forged handles with a black-coated finish.

Why Choose Diawood High-Class Black?

Made in Sanjo, Niigata, Japan, by Diawood, a specialist scissors manufacturer. Diawood's techniques draw on the region's long-standing Echigo Sanjo blacksmithing tradition. Choose High-Class Black for lasting cutting performance, a solid feel and resistance to rust.

FEATURES

• SKD-11 Tool Steel: Wear Resistance for the Cutting Edge
  Hitachi SKD-11 is a high-carbon, high-chromium tool steel known for its wear resistance. For a fabric-cutting tool, resistance to wear is a useful material characteristic when choosing scissors for repeated cutting work.
• 18Cr Stainless Steel: Corrosion Resistance
  The 18Cr stainless steel adds a corrosion-resistant material to the blade specification, while SKD-11 brings wear resistance. These are different properties: resistance to rust and resistance to cutting-edge wear are not the same thing. Keep the scissors clean and dry; stainless steel does not mean rust-proof.
• Black-Coated Forged Handles
  The forged handles have a black-coated finish, offering a different handle construction and appearance from the Gold series with its brass handles and melamine finish. Choose the handle style you prefer alongside the blade materials and overall size.
• 260 mm Overall Length
  The larger of the two Black sizes listed below, for users who prefer larger fabric scissors at the worktable. The 260 mm measurement is the overall length, not the blade length.

CHOOSING YOUR TAILOR SCISSORS

Choose the Black 260 mm if you prefer larger fabric scissors with black-coated forged handles. Consider the Black 240 mm if a smaller pair better suits your hand and workspace, or compare the Gold and Silver ranges below for different blade-material and handle combinations.
