Only use the scissors for cutting fabric.
These scissors are made from high-quality Blue (Aogami Super) or White (Shirogami) carbon steel and sharpened to the highest standard; therefore, the edge is very sharp. Carbon steel is prized due to its excellent edge retention and ease of sharpening. However, carbon steel does require maintenance to avoid corrosion.
When cleaning and maintaining your scissors, ensure your hands remain clear of the edge.
Be careful not to drop the scissors as this could cause chipping or misalignment.
Sharpening should be performed by a professional sharpener.
Periodically apply sewing machine oil to the centre screw to ensure its smooth operation. Ask the sharpener to perform this task as well.
To care for your scissors, you will require oil (supplied) and two clean cloths.
1. Wipe the blades of any moisture and dirt with the first cloth. Open the blades and wipe each of the blades from the tip to the bottom of the screw. We recommend you wipe the blades with the edge pointed away from you.
2. Apply a small amount of the oil to the second cloth and work the oil into cloth by rubbing the cloth together.
3. Rub the oil onto the blade in the same manner as point 1.
A thin layer of oil is sufficient. Any oil under the screws will help the blades operate smoothly. You don't need to oil the scissors after each use. You can use them continuously as long as there is a veneer of oil on the blades.
