Mini Japanese Thread Snips with Leather Sheath

Measuring just a bit bigger than a US Quarter, these mini thread snips prove that exceptional things can come in small packages. Made by Hasegawa Cutlery in Seki, Japan's foremost cutlery-making town, the mini scissors are as functional as they are adorable. The silk tassel attached to the finger pad is handmade by Imasato, a tassel and knot specialist founded in 1907 in Fukuoka Prefecture. The snips also include a buttery soft genuine leather sheath for storage.

To use, press the finger pads together with your thumb and forefinger. The spring mechanism keeps the scissor blades open when not in use.
