Kai Scissors originated in the mid-1990s by importing high-quality Kai products from the Kai Group in Japan, founded in 1908 in Seki City, known for its 800-year blade-making history. The company aims to introduce Kai’s diverse range of scissors, shears, and kitchen and beauty products to the American market. Recently, they expanded to include American-made pocket knives, featuring the KERSHAW and Zero Tolerance brands from Tualatin, Oregon.
