The design of these katana blade scissors is based upon the look of a famous sword owned by the Japanese samurai warrior Oda Nobunaga. These scissors feature vermillion-colored handles made to look like they belong to a katana and are attached to two interlocking sword blades. An imprinted Nobunaga crest decorates the joint of the scissors and a wooden gift box.
