Scissors originated in Egypt about 3,000 years ago, and were already widespread in Europe during the Roman era in a shape similar to the current one. The office scissors that we often see on a daily basis tend to have symmetrical handles, but these can be easily picked up without worrying about the orientation, and the scissors on the left and right sides are the same shape, making production more efficient. It is a shape that was born with consideration to the following. Originally, ``Scissors'' in the West were asymmetrical, with the handle and blade both functionally shaped, with emphasis placed on ease of grip and sharpness. True to the history of scissors, we thoroughly pursued ease of grip and usability for detailed work, and we arrived at an asymmetrical form for THE SCISSORS. Accuracy and sharpness are increased through the manufacturing method of hammering metal, which is the same as Japanese swords, called ``forging'', and the process of ``kensaku'', which gradually becomes thinner towards the tip of the blade, makes it the most difficult to cut. It also ensures the sharpness at the tip of the scissors. Both are techniques that are no longer found in today's scissors, which are made by processing stainless steel plates. Also, the blade angle of general scissors is around 55 degrees, but THE SCISSORS has a blade angle of 45 degrees. Each piece of gauze, which is said to be difficult to cut, is manually checked to ensure that it can be cut before being shipped. The size is 176mm in total length. When looking at the overall volume of the scissors, including the size of the handle, the length of the blade, and the weight balance of the handle, this is the most well-balanced size for scissors. Manufactured by Plus Co., Ltd., the No. 1 manufacturer of office scissors. These scissors were created by combining the new technology of the ``Bernoulli curved blade'' created by Plus, which can cut with constant force from the root to the tip, and the traditional processing technology of scissors that has been used since ancient times. Swords are often said to be bad luck as gifts, but they are actually said to ``cut off misfortune and bring good fortune.'' Even in the imperial family, there is a custom of giving swords on auspicious occasions, and even overseas, they are said to ``cut off evil spirits.'' It has been used in various festivals and ceremonies as a sacred object that brings good luck. With this history as a motif, we are making it in a paulownia wood box.
