ACRO CROSSOVER TSUCHIME MOMO

– 100-years of greatness celebrated with the incredible Tsuchime range –

The TSUCHIME symbolises a new milestone in Mizutani craftsmanship!

The thought behind it: “Every hairdresser / barber is unique, every hand is unique, therefore every Mizutani scissor is unique!”

The term “TSUCHIME” means “hammer art“. This hammer art workmanship is reflected on the surface of the scissors.

It is sophisticated craftsmanship that gives the model a particularly dignified and unique appearance. The MOMO variant is characterized by its beautiful rose-golden color alloy.

Passion, persistence and tradition

The new models of the Acro Crossover series “TSUCHIME” show typical values lived by Mizutani.
In each of these scissors is a lot of work, heart and soul.

Passion

Mizutani Japan loves scissors and
conveys this passion in every new model they design. Also in this case.

Persistence

The production of these models is not easy. It takes a lot of time, because every little detail must be perfect to get exactly the incomparable look that makes the TSUCHIME special.

Tradition

For 100 years, Mizutani Japan has been producing hair cutting scissors of the highest quality. This is still done by hand, which is the origin of the TSUCHIME. A pair of scissors that shows what handwork means and what handwork looks like – namely unique.

Hard titanium coating

With MIZUTANI’s titanium hard coating, a titanium compound is applied by a special coating process after surface preparation for each pair of scissors.
The hardness of this coating is exceptionally high. In addition, the abrasion resistance is excellent. The coating ensures that the scissors are not easily scratched, thus ensuring durability.

Our Nano Powder Metal®, made with the new HIP manufacturing method (Hot Isostatic Pressing), is steel fabricated from a fine powder at the nano level. The uniform-grained powder is hardened with high temperature and pressure tempering, essentially eliminating all filler and impurities, and this method is used in precision manufacturing items like Blu-ray disc molds, where high levels of purity are required. At MIZUTANI, in order to create the ideal hair-cutting scissors, we have conducted our own proprietary research with this material, and created scissors with blades that combine strength with a long cutting life and the ultimate sharpness.

These metal ball bearings are small, high precision items produced by a Japanese manufacturer. With superior anti-rust properties compared to foreign-made products, they have a high level of durability. By drastically reducing friction around the screws, they not only ensure smooth opening and closing of the scissors, lessening burdens on the hands, but also protect the edge from damage, contributing to long cutting life.

Compact and easy to turn, this is a flat type driver for UFO screws. This screwdriver is included with all scissors with the mark shown.
