Where to buy Jyo
Jyo is the hand-forged shear line of UTSUMI Corporation, a Japanese maker founded in 1987 and based in Settsu City, Osaka, the same industrial belt that supplies a large share of the country’s professional cutlery. Utsumi also produces the BW and U&U lines, so Jyo isn’t a one-off label but part of an established Osaka shear house with its own manufacturing rather than a badge applied to bought-in blades. The catalogue is built on a V10 cobalt steel, a harder-edged stainless choice typical of premium Japanese work.
In the US, Jyo reaches stylists through Shear Integrity, which carries the line and serves as the practical place to confirm current models, handle options, and exact steel on a given pair. Pricing sits in the mid-range band, roughly $200 to $400, which is fair for hand-forged Japanese shears at this level.
This is a thinner entry than we’d like, mostly because Jyo keeps a low direct profile outside Japan. For the fullest current picture, the maker’s own site at utsumi-beauty.com and the Jyo listings on Shear Integrity are the authoritative sources.
