Shipping
Currently, Hunting & Fishing New Zealand will only ship to addresses within New Zealand, including outer islands. We do not ship internationally. For the majority of orders, we have a $7.50 flat rate shipping fee, $10.00 for rural addresses. For bulky items, additional fees may apply. As some courier companies do not ship to PO Boxes we recommend you provide either a residential or commercial shipping address when placing online orders. Should we be unable to ship to a PO Box we will contact you for an alternative address. -
Dispatch
In most circumstances, your order will be dispatched from the store closest to the delivery address you supply us. This means we can keep freight to a minimum and send items up to about 25kgs. Most courier companies charge based on weight or size, generally what is bigger. If we have to send your order from another store, we’ll pay any additional freight cost. If you’re ordering more than 1 item and the combined weight (or size equivalent) is more than 25kgs we reserve the right to charge additional freight. From time to time we might offer freight specials or even free freight. These offers will also be based on 25kgs. -

Product Details
These scissors are produced by one-by-one by master bladesmiths in Seki, Japan. Seki bladesmithing goes back 800 years, to when it was a hub for samurai sword forging. The area is now known as one of the world's three premier cutlery-producing regions, alongside Solingen in Germany, and Sheffield in England.
Shimano partnered with a bladesmithing company in Seki to make these scissors with fishermen in mind. They are an attempt by Shimano to not just create a luxury fishing tool, but one that is useful, and solves a problem.
The blades are exceptionally sharp, and were made specifically to cut braided fishing line without applying force, the handles of the scissors are extra-large, so that they're easy to use even when wearing gloves. Each blade is ground, sharpened and polished by hand, before being individually tested by the bladesmith on braided fishing line.
