Hayashi Scissors identifies a Wakayama operation that began in 1992. Its company profile and product catalogue are more useful to a buyer than a single broad “Japanese steel” label: the catalogue separates cutting, thinning and left-hand choices by model and material. Its own catalogue is the right place to compare the edge shape of a chosen model.
Compare the named steel
The HYS MAX67 MARK-IV/DRY page describes its powder high-speed steel at HRC67. The wider catalogue also lists HYS at HRC64, cobalt grades, and a MAX67 replica made from Cobalt Special. Neither the flagship hardness nor its listed price describes every Hayashi shear. The maker warns that some catalogue prices may lag price changes, so confirm the exact quote and handle version.
Buying and service
For a new pair, check the ordering route and current terms with Hayashi. Refun lists named pre-owned Hayashi cutters and thinners, with stock varying by item. Inspect condition and sharpening history before buying used.
Hayashi FAQ
Is Hayashi a Japanese scissor maker?
Hayashi Scissors identifies its Wakayama company and 1992 start on its official profile. That supports the Japan operator grouping; confirm the selected model’s finished origin separately if required.
Do all Hayashi shears use HRC67 powder steel?
No. The official catalogue assigns HRC67 HYS MAX67 to named models, HRC64 HYS to others, and cobalt materials to further models. The MAX67 replica is listed in Cobalt Special, not MAX67 steel.
Can I buy Hayashi directly now?
The maker lists an online shop; confirm new-order terms with Hayashi. Refun has named pre-owned Hayashi listings, so inspect each used pair’s condition, stock and seller terms.
