Onoyoshi Professional Pruning Secateurs BZ-Type Benkei Guard Model Total Length & Blade: 205mm / 60mm High-Grade Cutlery Steel [Traditional Hand Forged from Scratch / Hollow Ground Back / Twisted Blade/ Screw joint ]

Description

Handcrafted by Ono-Yoshi in Ono, Hyogo Prefecture—a legendary region for historic Banshu Miki cutlery—these 205mm BZ-Type pruning secateurs feature the signature "Benkei" double-guard handle profile. Precision-forged for arborists, horticulturists, and professional landscapers, they combine incredible leverage with an innovative ergonomic guard that prevents forward hand slippage during heavy cuts and provides exceptional stability during reverse-grip (sakate) overhead pruning.

Forged from premium high-carbon cutlery steel, the blades feature a robust Hamaguri (convex) profile. This thick, clamshell-like cross-section provides outstanding edge durability and chip resistance when slicing through dense live branches. Weighing approximately 250g, it delivers solid structural stability and effortless cutting momentum. Built with an authentic Hollow Ground Back (Urasuki), hand-adjusted Hinari blade alignment, and a mirror-polished finish, this tool represents a high-performance, versatile masterpiece for heavy field work.

(Note: Due to the expanded width of the Benkei guard structure, please pair with an oversized leather sheath or holster.)
