Shear World lists Butoh IY and KY cutters; the maker and factory country still need direct evidence.
Country classification under review: current Butoh seller pages do not establish the maker or factory country. The Japan route is retained for navigation.

Shear World’s Butoh collection lists two named cutters, IY and KY. These listings are useful for comparing current models but do not identify the label’s owner or factory country. The Japan directory route remains under review.
The seller describes IY as a cobalt-alloy offset cutter in 5.7, 6.2 and 6.7-inch lengths. Its KY listing describes a stainless-steel crane-handle cutter in 5.5 and 6.0-inch lengths. Material and handle details belong to each model, not to every Butoh pair. Confirm the selected variation and terms on its product page.
Shear World’s brand directory names Butoh and Green Mouse separately, while the current Green Mouse hairdressing catalogue does not identify Butoh. Those observations neither prove nor disprove a connection. A maker document or marked product is needed before assigning parent company or country of manufacture.
That relationship and the factory country are not confirmed by current seller listings. The Japan route is retained for navigation while a maker source is sought.
Shear World lists the IY cutter in three lengths and the KY cutter in two. Read the selected product page for its handle and material statement.
No range-wide material claim is supported. Shear World describes cobalt alloy on IY and stainless steel on KY; those are model-specific seller statements.
