Made in Japan | Japanese Blade-Making Heritage Since 1874
Discover the practical craftsmanship of Shimomura Kogyo, a Japanese kitchenware manufacturer with roots dating back to 1874 in Sanjo, Niigata, a region renowned for its metalworking and blade-making heritage.
The ProGrade PG-416 Curved Blade Kitchen Shears combine curved stainless steel blades, a serrated cutting edge, a take-apart design, and comfortable easy-grip handles for convenient everyday food preparation.
Curved Blades | Easier Cutting from Underneath Food
Unlike conventional straight-blade kitchen scissors, the PG-416 features gently curved blades designed to slide underneath ingredients more easily.
The curved shape makes it easier to position the cutting blades beneath meat, vegetables, and other foods without constantly lifting or repositioning the ingredients.
Ideal for convenient everyday food preparation and kitchen cutting tasks.
Serrated Edge | Helps Grip Slippery Ingredients
Slippery ingredients such as chicken and pork can shift during cutting.
The PG-416 features a serrated edge on one blade to help grip ingredients and reduce slipping.
The combination of curved blades and a serrated edge provides better control when cutting a variety of everyday foods.
Take-Apart Design | Easier Cleaning
Kitchen scissors often come into contact with meat, vegetables, and cooking juices.
The PG-416 features a take-apart design that allows the two blades to be separated for more convenient cleaning.
This makes it easier to reach the blade surfaces and joint area where food residue may collect.
A practical feature for regular kitchen use.
Easy-Grip Handles | Comfortable Cutting Control
The resin handles feature generously sized finger openings designed for a secure, comfortable grip.
The non-slip handle design helps users maintain control and apply cutting pressure when preparing ingredients.
Combined with the curved blades, this design makes everyday kitchen cutting more convenient.
