The D-17, known for its timeless design and ease of use, is equipped with a perfect balance of stability, power and functionality to give you complete control for slide, dry and wet cutting.

SWORD series, thought thoroughly for your hands.
These scissors are developed with an ergonomic design aimed at preventing wrist/joint pains. We have reconsidered the location of the thumb (which is shorter than the other fingers) to make these scissors easier on the hands, placing the finger holes in the most natural position. Furthermore, to reduce strain on the hand, we have used a carbon resin bearing and titanium-plated wave washer. Whether you are troubled by joint issues or whether you have never had any concerns about your hands, it is important for long-term use to choose a tool that will reduce the burden on your hands.

EXTRAMARISE
EXTRAMARISE® is a proprietary heat treatment ideally suited for haircutting scissors that was developed by MIZUTANI based on long years of accumulated data and experience. The same steel material can have totally different performance depending on the heat treatment used. Therefore, to maximize the special qualities of the rare metals (cobalt, molybdenum, vanadium, etc.) we’ve added to our products to the greatest extent possible, and achieve the ideal metal for scissors, (*hardening, tempering, sub-zero processing) and other complete temperature management procedures are essential. To bring out the distinct characteristics of materials, and manufacture a blade with the ultimate strength required for haircutting scissors, we at MIZUTANI have implemented our own proprietary heat treatment using the ideal temperature for scissors: EXTRAMARISE® processing.

RESIN BEARING
These bearings are made by shaving each of them one by one, using a resin material with excellent mechanical properties. Their smoothness and flexibility makes for an ideal cutting experience, and protects the scissors and screws from wear and tear. Our bearings are gentle to both our scissors and their users.
