Kikui Cobalt Standard Models: Crafted with 70% Cobalt Alloy

In 1973, KIKUI pioneered the world's first cobalt alloy styling scissors. Composed of approximately 70% of the precious metal cobalt, this alloy is incredibly resistant to rust. Scissors made from cobalt material are renowned for their long-lasting sharpness. However, crafting scissors from this alloy is a challenging process and only a limited number of artisans in Japan possess the necessary skills.

Kikui's exclusive processing technology allows us to create Cobalt models with razor-sharp edges and refined design, resulting in a tool that can be cherished and utilized for a lifetime and proper service. Over 40 years since their initial development, Kikui's cobalt alloy scissors continue to be adored by top stylists around the world.
