Unprecedented smoothness and comfort offering ultra-high precision. This is the newest Hikari design. The shank is beautifully sculptured and wider than other scissors in order to provide optimum support for your hand and fingers. It's also angled for stress free control and comfort. The contoured funnel shaped finger holes are a perfect fit for medium to small sized fingers. The Koryu Dragon features angled finger holes that help prevent unnecessary Horizontal Thumb Pressure thus keeping the thumb and ring finger in a more relaxed, comfortable and stress free position. Definitely a beautifully designed offset scissor with great craftsmanship.
