Our Production Process: Where Artisan Craft Meets Cutting-Edge Science

At Zamaha International, we believe that a superior hair cutting tool is born from an unwavering commitment to excellence at every stage of creation. Our production process is a meticulous fusion of time-honored artisan skill and advanced metallurgical engineering, ensuring every pair of scissors meets the demanding standards of professionals worldwide.

Step 1: The Selection of Superior Steel
It all begins with the foundation. We forge our scissors exclusively from alloyed 440C Japanese Stainless Steel, renowned for its exceptional ability to achieve a razor-sharp, long-lasting edge. This is the first and most critical step in a journey toward creating a world-class cutting instrument.

Step 2: Precision Forging & Shaping
Using specialized techniques, the selected steel is precisely forged into the ergonomic designs that define our shears. This stage sets the foundational strength and the signature feel of the tool, crafting the graceful lines and perfect balance that professionals require.

Step 3: Vacuum Tempering for Unyielding Performance
The forged components undergo a sophisticated Vacuum Tempering process. This controlled heat treatment in a vacuum environment is crucial for enhancing the molecular structure of the steel. The result is a blade that achieves an ideal balance of maximum hardness for edge retention and superior toughness to resist chipping and wear.

Step 4: Hollow Grinding & Edge Profiling
This is where the cutting edge comes to life. Each blade is meticulously hollow ground, a technique that creates a concave shape behind the cutting edge. This reduces friction against the hair, allowing for smoother, cleaner cuts without pulling or snagging.

Step 5: The Art of the Edge: Triple Honing
A sharp edge is not enough; it must be perfectly refined. Our blades undergo a triple-honing process, where the edge is polished and refined three times to a microscopic level. This eliminates any burrs or imperfections, resulting in a seamlessly sharp, razor-like edge that glides through hair with effortless precision.

Step 6: Assembly, Tensioning & Quality Control
Master artisans then assemble each pair, adjusting the tension screw to achieve the perfect balance—what we describe as “super smooth runs, with no drop, low friction and sound.” Every single tool is rigorously inspected against exacting specifications to ensure flawless operation, perfect alignment, and effortless performance for all cutting styles.

The Result: A Tool Crafted for Your Art and Well-being
The culmination of this intensive process is more than just a scissor. It is an ergonomic masterpiece designed to combat thumb fatigue and carpal tunnel problems, promoting natural finger movement for less hand strain. From the finest Japanese steel to the final quality check, our entire production process is dedicated to providing you with an instrument that empowers your creativity and supports the longevity of your career.
