Diawood Silver Fabric Tailor Scissors White Steel 260 mm

SUMMARY

For professional tailoring, dressmaking and garment alterations, the Diawood Silver 260 mm scissors pair Hitachi White Paper No.1 laminated steel blades with black-coated handles and a special plated finish. Choose this larger Silver model if you value traditional carbon-steel blade materials and prefer a larger pair than the Silver 240 mm.

Why Choose Diawood Silver?

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. The Silver series is designed for those who value a fine cutting edge and the sharpening qualities of White Paper No.1 carbon steel.

FEATURES

• White Paper No.1: A Material Chosen for a Fine Cutting Edge
  Also known as Shirogami No.1, this high-carbon steel is valued for its ability to take a finely sharpened edge and its response to sharpening. It offers a different material priority from SKD-11's emphasis on wear resistance, for users who value a refined edge and professional resharpening as part of tool care.
• Laminated-Steel Blades
  The specified blade construction uses Hitachi Yasugi White Paper No.1 in laminated steel. This is a carbon-steel construction, distinct from choosing scissors with an 18Cr stainless-steel blade specification.
• Special Anti-Corrosion Finish
  A special anti-corrosion treatment is applied to the blades to help protect the surface. The treatment does not turn the underlying White Paper No.1 carbon steel into stainless steel. Clean and dry the scissors after use to care for the blade and finish.
• Black-Coated Handles and Plated Finish
  The black-coated handles and special plating distinguish the Silver's finish from the Gold series with its brass handles and melamine finish. Compare both the blade material and handle style when choosing your worktable scissors.
• 260 mm Overall Length, Approximately 240 g
  The larger of the two Silver sizes listed below, for users who prefer a larger pair for fabric cutting. The 260 mm measurement is the overall length, not the blade length.
