A pair of vintage Japanese pinking shears manufactured by Nikken. These textile shears are constructed from chrome-plated steel and incorporate a ball-bearing pivot mechanism designed to provide smooth cutting action and reduce user hand fatigue. The blades feature a traditional serrated pinking edge used for creating a zigzag finish on fabric to prevent fraying. The shears are accompanied by their original two-piece cardboard box and a printed inner cardboard sleeve. The packaging features the Nikken brand name, logo, and descriptive text regarding the chrome finish and ball-bearing feature.

Length: 8 inches.
