Drop forged Japanese Pruning Shears distinguish themselves with ergonomic design, smooth operation, extremely good edge retention and timeless design.
They are however made from traditional carbon steel, very hard but also brittle (more brittle than most people are used to) and rusting. Therefore take good care of this tool, don’t abuse it by cutting wires and such, as well as keeping the tool clean after use and wiping down with camelia oil occasionally. We offer a Steel Maintenance Package great for all Japanese edge tools.
