Among Shimano's tools, this product is extremely popular among users, and is a "spasiser" that can easily cut through the difficult PE line, and a "Bannoo Scissors" that can be used in a wide range of situations.These scissors are made by artisans in Seki City, Gifu Prefecture.How do you achieve the ideal sharpness for anglers?Explore the creation process of this product, the quality Shimano has created with the artisans and the idea that it was created with the craftsman words.
Shimano's pursuit of quality is supported by the tradition and technology of Seki City.We want you to experience the one-of-a-kind sharpness that is made by craftsmen one by one.

In addition to the "spasiser" and "bannou scissors", the various products that are loved by anglers for about 30 years has been made together with Shimano, Gifu Prefecture.Seki City, a global production area that counts 3S of cutlery, along with Solingen, Germany, and Sheffield, England, dates back to the Kamakura era about 800 years ago.
Swordsmiths have gathered at the site of the Seki when they escaped from the war that happened around the country.Since they found the abundance of charcoal made in Hida, water flowing from Oku Mino, and the clay needed to harden, they settled here and started the history as the "town of cutlery".After that, it has been developed as a logistics hub by utilizing the interests between Edo and Osaka.With the transition of the time, the knife is made by craftsmen by the artisans who continue the tradition and technology of the same transformation of the shapes from swords, knives, razors, and scissors.
"Cutlery manufacturing has been passed down in the Seki region because we have changed the shape according to the times.Too much attention to it, you can't eat it.People with a sense of balance are craftsmen who make more than what they are looking for, while changing their shape."
We could continue to select a more efficient way.Just replace the human hands into a machine and keep making the time shortened.But the knife is not possible to keep things stable in machinery.

The design is easy to use to match the scene, and the ability to cut out is loaded with the spirit of crafting that has been created together with the artisans.Finally, a representative of the manufacturing workshop is here to turn back to the creation of what you've been walking with Shimano."Shimano is not compromise on quality, and is hasty.It was hard to keep up at first.Because we are trying to create products with common senses and ideals for users, we have beyond the common knowledge of our cutlery.Even though you want to create something that can be cut well, you need to numerize how much you want to cut it, how many times you can cut it, and how many grams of force you need to cut it.We have to take that request and create a little more served quality than what we request.This is still very hard to do today.However, the craftsmen are the obsession of the craftsmen, but we created something that is better than with a commitment to continuing pursuit without compromise.You may have an artisan appearance.The spirit of "looking for good" is the same as all Shimano.I love the spirit and have done it today, and most of all it is our support."
And they told us about the future of the future.We want to create essential tools together to let everyone say "one day, "Anglers always have Shimano" products.Whether you have one tool of scissors, you can use it for any reason, such as "light weight" or "cheaply cut" or "great cut".I love fishing too, so I am glad that anglers can create things that will cherish for a long time."

Due to the effects of the distortion caused by tempering, each piece has been carefully sharpened to ensure that the shape and warping of scissors are distinguished.This is not a machine but a sharpness that can only be produced by hand.

PE line cannot be cut even with extreme sharpness.The overall balance of the weight of the shrimp and the rigidity is important to make it easy to cut. Finally, the craftsmen rely on years of experience to adjust the final adjustment according to individual individual differences.

When opening and closing the scissors is too light, it can escape into the PE line and not cut well.Weighted to catch and cut lines

No need to twist the scissors or force, we have tried cuts over and over again to fine-tune the balance so that anyone can easily cut the PE line by simply moving it up and down.
