Keiun Kokaji Cutting Scissors

Description

The Keiun Kokaji is a stainless-Damascus cutter forged over a cobalt-alloy core in Sanjo, Japan, with the Damascus pattern worked through the steel itself rather than printed on. It comes in two blade models, YL and CR, and across a finely stepped size range from 5.5 to 6.25 inches, so you can dial in the exact length and feel for your hand. The convex edge suits precise, detailed cutting, and the cobalt core gives it the edge life to back daily use. Rated for wet and dry work, with an offset handle that keeps the wrist comfortable, it is a flexible everyday Damascus pair.

Professional Opinion

“The fine size steps are the quiet strength here — quarter-inch increments between 5.5 and 6.25, plus the YL and CR blade options, mean you can match this to your cutting style closely rather than rounding to the nearest half-inch. The cobalt-cored Damascus edge holds well for everyday club and point work. Honest limitation: it is a premium piece, and choosing between the two blade models and several lengths means doing a little homework before you buy rather than grabbing it off the shelf. Get the right configuration and it is a beautiful, dialled-in daily cutter.”
