Hello. First of all, I want to thank you for the organization and the extremely fast delivery. The scissors arrived extremely well packaged. I must admit that I was looking forward to them. I said to myself, you are now the proud owner of a handmade Japanese scissors. Who is like you?!!! I haven't had the opportunity to test them and examine them more thoroughly for some time. One free evening I decided to act.... The first thing that struck me was the uncomfortable and not well-cleaned edges on the inside of the handles. This did not bother me, I work with different tools and I know that the first impression of ergonomics is not always decisive. In addition, this is an old traditional design, this is how our ancestors worked. But the bumps that scratched my fingers when I touched the inner edge when closing definitely irritated me. When I made the first cut! Well, here I was already worried. The handmade "Master's Scissors" so praised on the Internet does not cut properly? 10 mm. plum branch? The scissors seem perfectly sharpened? But the effort it takes to cut 10 mm. of a twig is oppressive. The cut is even on one side only, I swallow it. And then it started biting, not letting go. The first thing I thought... Good thing I didn't buy these scissors as a gift. I would have exposed myself cruelly..... If I had bought this product from a store in Bulgaria, I would have returned it the next day. The first thing I would have thought - this is a scam, they lied to me. But since I can't return it to you after so much fuel and committed people... Look, I'm not writing this letter to offend you. Take it as constructive criticism. What can I advise you? Get Okatsune 103, I've been working with one for some time. I used one to do the comparative test of your Hanakumagawe type B. Then you'll understand why I'm so disappointed. Okatsune 103 - price 113 lv. Hanakumagawe type B - 201 leva almost twice as expensive. Since I got the Okatsune 103, I've been working, cleaning, lubricating and working, cleaning, lubricating...... Hanakumagawe - I had to loosen the locknut to stop holding the reverse stroke. After which I had to replace the original nut with a self-locking nut with a Teflon insert to maintain the necessary clearance. It is not a reliable mounting on the central axis. There is no need for a sharp and dangerous tip of the passive blade, both for the holster and for the operator. Personally, I like scissors with softer springs that require less effort during prolonged work. It would be good to look around and think about whether this is the product you want to be remembered for? Regards: Ivaylo '
