Hikari: The Brand and What to Check
Hikari is a Tokyo scissor maker, established in 1967, that hand-makes its scissors in Niigata. We don't stock it; here's what to check and compare.
Hikari Corporation has its head office in Itabashi, Tokyo, and its factories in Agano, Niigata, where its site says every pair is handmade.
Buying one elsewhere? Check the exact model, size and hand, and ask the seller who sharpens it in Australia.

- Cosmos cutters, in several versions. Hikari calls Cosmos its main series.
- LEFTY models for left-handed cutting.
