Useful stationeries by Sun-Star stationery
A STATIONERY COMPANY WITH NUMBERS OF HOT SELLING STATIONERIES IN JAPAN.
"Sun-Star stationery" (サンスター文具) was founded in 1952 under a different name and changed its name to as it is now 7 years later. Since its foundation, the stationery company has been producing unique products such as "arm fudeire" (アーム筆入), incredibly pen case, with a TV commercial saying "unbreakable even stepped by an elephant". (Thought it was just their selling catchphrase but it was true. In a TV program called "Hoko x Tate", literary an elephant stepped on their new product "NEW arm fudeire" for a minute. The pen case didn't even have a single crack.)
There have been so many other idea-full stationeries made by the company. This time, I'd like to introduce some of those I found very interesting.
Utility knife and scissors, (カッター付ハサミ).
Price: ¥540
At first glance, they look independent utility knife and scissors.
Flip over the knife. There is a slide pocket to insert the scissors.
Just like a samurai sword. Although the scissors need to be drawn from the sheath to use, the utility knife works as it is.
The knife has good sharp edge. In fact, it gives a better grip when they are attached together.
On the other hand, the scissors need a bit of getting used to because the grip is slightly curved shape.
The most important feature of this tool is they are attachable. It means no more scavenging drawer to drawer. Good sharp edge, too.
Stickyle scissors, (スティッキールはさみ). Price: ¥540
"A pen looking" scissors. The pair of blades pops right out when you remove the cap.
This, spring mechanism holds the blades and keeps them opened.
User-"unfriendly" due to its size can't be a problem because clip part also works as grip.
These scissors, obviously not suitable for cutting big nor thick materials. However, they work just fine for small material and most importantly, can be put in your pen case or even in your pocket.
Piri-it!, (ピリット).
Price: ¥410
Mind-blowing sticky notes. How are they such a good product, let me show you.
Ordinal sticky notes so far.
Top of the note comes off. (The name "Piri-it!" onomatopoeic word, a sound expressed when you tear off a stripe of paper. )
This product is just perfect for exam study and business use. Fold it a few times to make them easier to torn off. By tearing off the top of sticky notes along the dashed lines, the meanings would change from "?" to "!", from "LOOK!" to "OK!". When solving problems or work proceeding, the sticky note not only is a mark but also shows the progress.
There are so many good stuff made by Sun-Star stationery. They can be found retail and stationery stores nationwide. Don't miss them.
