Kitchen Shears That Make a Knife Unnecessary
1. Our Goal: KANZEN Knife-Level Performance
A Blade Built to Match the KANZEN Knife
The KANZEN Kitchen Shears was designed to match the sharpness of the KANZEN Knife, and like the Knife, it's crafted in Seki City, Gifu Prefecture.
We pushed the limits of what kitchen shears can do to achieve knife-level sharpness.
Slices Through Even Ripe Cherry Tomatoes
in a Single Cut
Most kitchen shears are made with standard stainless steel.
The KANZEN Kitchen Shears, however, uses molybdenum vanadium steel for 100% of the blade.
A Cut as Clean as a Knife's
Each pair is carefully sharpened and serrated by blacksmiths in Seki City, Gifu Prefecture, to grip and cut cleanly through food.
The result is a cut surface as clean as if it were made with a knife.
We pursued the finest sharpness possible in a pair of kitchen shears.
2. About Half the Weight of All-Stainless Shears
An Ultra-Light 93g, Designed to Ease the Strain on Your Hand
Forged all-stainless kitchen shears are often very heavy, and can leave your hand sore after use.
The KANZEN Kitchen Shears, by contrast, weighs just 93g.
That's about half the weight of forged all-stainless kitchen shears.
Designed to Fit Comfortably in Any Hand
The handles are made of elastomer resin, further reducing strain on your hand.
We pursued comfortable handling as rigorously as we pursued sharpness.
3. Designed for Beauty
Beauty Born from Matte Black and Ultimate Simplicity
The KANZEN Kitchen Shears is finished entirely in matte black.
This unusual colorway for kitchen shears gives it a refined, understated beauty.
We also stripped away unnecessary features and ornamentation for a simple, clean look.
Reydent Coating Strengthens Rust Resistance
The matte black blade finish comes from our Reydent coating process.
Beyond its appearance, the Reydent coating also strengthens rust resistance.
This helps prevent rust and makes upkeep effortless.
*The Reydent process is not a fluorine coating. It is an electrochemical surface treatment.
Where It's Made
Seki City, Gifu Prefecture
The KANZEN Kitchen Shears is crafted by blacksmiths in Seki City, Gifu Prefecture, a town with 800 years of history in bladecraft.
Born from truly rare craftsmanship, it stands among the finest shears Japan has to offer.
*A behind-the-scenes video will be released soon.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
You can try it at our Jiyugaoka store in Tokyo, Japan.
The blade is 100% molybdenum vanadium steel.
The handle is made of elastomer resin, and the blade is finished with serration and our Reydent coating process.
Please avoid using the shears on extremely hard materials such as ice.
Doing so risks chipping the blade, so this should always be avoided.
For frozen food, we recommend cutting it while it's still partially frozen.
Depending on what's being cut, chipping can occur as a function of the product's design.
Frozen food, hard seeds, and bones are common causes of blade chipping.
Chipping caused by cutting these items is not covered under warranty, and repairs will be charged.
