TOYAMA HAMONO

Toyama Cutlery was founded during the Bunkyū era of the Edo period. In 1861, the first generation started manufacturing wooden scissors on Sanjō Jūbei Kōji, now known as Shinmei-chō. The techniques have been carried on by subsequent generations, establishing them as the hereditary masters of Echigo wooden scissors.


Toyama Cutlery’s scissors are crafted using traditional techniques like “forge welding,” “back grinding,” and “double-edging,” gaining love and trust from customers worldwide for their exceptional quality. We combine traditional skills with modern machine technology to continually improve the sharpness, durability, and overall quality. With a commitment to preserving our cherished tradition, we aim to deliver enduring trust and quality to our customers, upholding a legacy of 160 years.
