Forging Tanebasami scissors 08:33

A fascinating look at the hand-forging of Japan's famous Tanebasami scissors. Crafted on Tanegashima Island since the 1540's, using the techniques of master sword-makers, Tanebasami have a dream-like cutting ability and feel wonderfully warm in your hand - they're unlike any other scissors. Admiring their beautiful form is almost as much fun as using them! More information at www.tanebocho.com
