MICHIKO’s company account says its scissors are forged in Japan. This is a maker statement about production, not independent factory verification or proof of the company’s legal home. Ask for the selected model’s origin marking if production location matters to your purchase.
A named cutter before a range claim
The Anchor 5.5 lists an ATS314 cobalt-alloy blade, adjustable tension and a compact 3D handle. Those details belong to Anchor. Check another model’s own listing before assuming the same grade, size or feel. The Painkiller line has a flexible thumb; try its movement before treating an ergonomic design claim as an outcome for your wrist.
The maker also lists left-hand choices and thinning tools. Compare blade orientation, tooth pattern, aftercare and current returns for the selected pair. A seller link below is a lead, not proof of stock or an authorized service arrangement.
