These are dressmaking shears. They are 24 centimeters long. They are old, but I believe they are a good quality item. I tried cutting with them, and they cut well. They have been stored for a long time in a warehouse, unused. The box has some stains. The blades are wrapped in oil paper? and some of the paper has stuck to the blades when removed. Please check the photos 5 and 6. I have not attempted to wipe them clean, so it may be possible to wipe them clean. - Brand: Ryujiro - Type: Dressmaking shears - Accessories: Boxed Thank you for looking.
