Zhaotong Scissors

　　Zhaotong Scissors, also known as concave-blade scissors, are characterized by a recessed inner mouth, grass-like pointed tips, and a single-edged blade. They have long been renowned across Yunnan, Sichuan, and Guizhou for their evenly embedded steel, distinct separation of steel layers, fine craftsmanship, sharp cutting edges, sturdy rivets, smooth opening and closing, elegant design, durability, and affordability. Over the 20 years since 1970, the scissors have repeatedly participated in product evaluations within Yunnan Province, meeting all SG-185-80 industry standards with top scores and receiving high praise from participants. The production of Zhaotong Scissors boasts a long history. Since the 1950s, by adopting advanced techniques from across the country, the industry has not only increased output but also significantly expanded its variety. Currently, the product range includes small floral scissors, tailor’s shears, household scissors, sheep shears, pruning shears, and tin snips, meeting diverse cutting needs in both social production and daily life. The annual average production is around 150,000 pairs. Zhaotong City Scissors Cooperative is actively researching third-generation products to explore new markets. (Zhaotong)
