This scissors are the most iconic and the famous scissors in Japan.
There have been many copies or rebranded OEM ver. (such as PLUS ver.), but ALLEX is the original.
The simple and perfectly balanced functional design is very modern to this day even though it is introduced in 1975.
The most noticeable and innovative points for these scissors are that the manufacturing process itself had been patented as well as the scissors itself.
Back in 70's, all of scissors are made from stick of iron with multiple process of forging, forming, bending, polishing etc., but ALLEX changed the process far simpler and more efficient just by die-cutting stainless steel plate.
