「シザーケースの金具『ナスカン』に込めたこだわりと改良の記録」

"The Record of Our Dedication and Improvements to the Scissor Case Hardware: 'Naskan' Snaps"

Our commitment to the "snap hooks" used in our scissor cases

The metal fittings called "snap hooks" used in our scissor cases are one of the important parts that connect the belt to the main body.

In fact, these snap hooks are the most fragile part of a scissor case.

At BLINK SCISSORS CASE, we have received repair requests for broken snap hooks several times in the past, and we have been continuously improving them.

Immediate improvement with 3 or more repair requests — BLINK's rule

At BLINK SCISSORS CASE, we have one important rule:

"If there are 3 or more identical repair requests, we will discontinue selling the product or improve it immediately."

Following this rule, we have actually changed the specifications of our snap hooks 5 times to date.

It's not just about prioritizing durability; the balance with design, color, and texture is also important. There were times when we had to make very difficult decisions to ensure we didn't compromise the "beauty" of the product as a whole.

Trial and error, but definite progress

Changing shapes, changing materials, using them in practice, and then repeating the verification process.

As we continued to make improvements, we spent our days searching for better metal fittings, thinking, "Let's try this shape next."

And then, we finally found the satisfactory metal fittings we had been looking for. They are now used in all BLINK scissor cases.

Fortunately, we haven't received a single repair request since changing to these fittings.

Carefully crafted, a joy to receive

These metal fittings are carefully inspected and packaged one by one after being manufactured at the factory.

The metal fittings are carefully packaged in sets of eight.

Quality, price, and trust

The photos also convey the sincerity of the craftsmanship, don't they?

I really feel that quality and price are proportional for any product.

It is the greatest joy for a craftsman to have customers think, "I still want this product," and I will continue to build up "reasons to choose us" one by one.
