I wonder if they worth buying, even for a souvenir.
Visuality is just perfect. Needless to say where you went. How about the quality?
"Made in Japan". This looks promising.
Sword rack doesn't come with the scissors. A paper knife does. Let me cut something. Something, NOW!
Feels a bit small in my hand but rubber helps to give really good grip. First contact was smooth. Does it go all the way through?
Swish! Felt really good. Did I mention that each blade of paper knife is finished by experienced craftsman?
Alright, you are up. Black and gold form shows elegance and magnificence of Nobunaga. (in a way.)
Grips made of ABS resin fit perfectly. OK, our brethren are in the field!
Snip, snip. Smooth cut in. The brassy sound of opening scissors tells you the quality of the scissors. These are good. NIKKEN sure know how to make good scissors.
Spah! Very smooth till the end. Reminds me a samurai sword. Only I never had one before.
Normally, souvenirs like these doesn't come with quality. But these NIKKEN products can be used everyday because they are very highly quality products.
There may be similar products. Just make sure the box of what your buying says "NIKKEN".
