SUMMARY
For professional tailoring, dressmaking and garment alterations, the Diawood High-Class Gold 260 mm scissors offer a mid-size choice within the Gold series for cutting fabric at the worktable. The blade specification pairs stainless 18Cr with Hitachi SLD, a tool steel known for wear resistance, while brass handles with a melamine finish give the Gold series its distinctive appearance.
Why Choose Diawood Gold?
Based in Sanjo, Niigata, Japan, a city with a long tradition of blacksmithing and metalworking, Diawood brings a connection to Japanese toolmaking to your sewing toolkit. The Gold series pairs its blade materials with distinctive gold-colored brass handles for those who value both materials and appearance in their tailoring tools.

FEATURES
-
Hitachi SLD: Wear-Resistant Tool Steel
SLD is a high-carbon, high-chromium tool steel equivalent to the SKD-11 grade, known for its wear resistance. For users choosing scissors for repeated fabric cutting, this is a material characteristic worth considering alongside size and handle style. -
18Cr Stainless Steel: Corrosion Resistance
The 18Cr stainless steel adds corrosion resistance to the blade-material specification, complementing SLD's wear-resistant characteristics. Resistance to rust and resistance to cutting-edge wear are different properties. Clean and dry the scissors after use as part of regular care. -
Brass Handles with a Melamine Finish
The Gold series uses brass handles, rather than simply a gold-colored finish on steel handles. Their characteristic color and melamine surface coating offer a different material-and-finish combination from the Black series' black-coated forged handles, for users who value appearance as well as blade materials. -
260 mm Overall Length
A choice between the compact 240 mm model and the larger 280 and 300 mm sizes. This is the overall length, not the blade length.
