Matsuzaki’s company history traces the business to Terukazu Matsuzaki in Tokyo in 1898. It also explains the Matteck name through the family’s successive leaders. That history gives context for a buyer, while the choice of tool still depends on a particular blade and handle.
The maker catalogue distinguishes cutters from thinners and lists named lines such as EDS, Mantis and MWQ. Its feature guide explains Sasaba blade shape, different back geometries and thinner tooth types. For example, the maker lists the EDS cutter in 5.0, 5.5 and 6.0 inches. Those are EDS options, not a size promise for every Matsuzaki pair. A stylist choosing for blunt work, slide work or weight removal should compare the matching model page and selected length.
The maker’s current company page announces a new Toshima-ku, Tokyo head office at 1-21-4 Zoshigaya. Its older English access page still gives the former Nerima address. The move notice does not state the current location of the factory. Ask the maker where the selected pair is produced if that affects your decision.
For US listings, Stay Sharp, TriCut and Precision Shears currently show named pairs. Compare the exact model, hand, condition, availability and seller terms. The maker’s historical website serves over HTTP; use its pages for product information, not as an assumed secure checkout. Browse the Japan directory for other makers.
