Tsubame Scissors describes a brand begun by craftspeople in Tsubame, Niigata in 2001. Its current contact page gives a California address for the US operation. The history and contact point answer different questions; use the selected model page to check where that pair was finished.
Read the material on the selected listing
The direct store’s 420A set, FC09 440C thinner, Matsu VG-1 and Dragon VG-15 are distinct choices. The Dragon listing describes that model as made in Japan; that statement should not be transferred to every other item in the shop. Compare the cutter or thinner task, size, material and exact country statement on the live listing.

The direct bestsellers collection shows current US model options and terms. Hien also sells a Tsubame series, but that is Hien’s own line; use the direct Tsubame Scissors store for the models described above. Confirm availability, delivery and returns for the chosen country and currency. Browse other Japan-grouped profiles separately.

TSUBAME FAQ
Where did Tsubame Scissors begin?
The brand’s site traces it to a group of Tsubame, Niigata craftsmen in 2001. Its contact page now gives a California address; that US contact does not establish the origin of every pair.
Do all Tsubame scissors use one steel?
No. The direct store labels a 420A set, an FC09 440C thinner, Matsu VG-1 and Dragon VG-15 separately.
Is every Tsubame pair made in Japan?
The store describes its Dragon model as made in Japan, but that model-specific statement does not establish the finished origin of every set or thinner. Check the selected listing or ask the seller.
Where can I compare current Tsubame stock?
Use the direct bestsellers collection. The two previously listed Japanese shop categories sell a separate Hien Tsubame series, so they are not offered as buyer links for this brand.
