[QUOTE="khl889, post: 49375, member: 104"]This is Chinese, not Japanese. Indeed, it's marked "Please Use Domestic Products," which was a common Chinese slogan in the '20s-'30s-'40s against Japanese imports. It says it's a genuine Zhang Xiao Quan pair of scissors. Zhang Xiao Quan, established 1663 and still in business, is one of China's most famous old businesses, making scissors and knives. To be certain this particular pair is in fact genuine you'd have to ask a Chinese scissors expert. [URL]http://www.bbc.com/news/business-22160739[/URL][/QUOTE]
