Tobisho Single-Edged Bud Trimming Scissors Total Length & Blade 200mm/73mm Weight: 200g | High Carbon Steel [Traditional Hand Forged from Scratch / Hollow Ground Back / Twisted Blade / Screw Joint / Bottom Lock]

Description 

Handcrafted in Yamagata City, Yamagata Prefecture—the historic heartland of traditional Yamagata blacksmithing—by Tobisho (Tobizuka Seisakusho), the Single-Edged Bud Trimming Scissors 200mm  is an extended-reach, master-grade Japanese shear engineered to balance delicate bud thinning with clean, slicing cutting power.

Featuring a Single-Edged (Kataba) Blade Geometry, this model pairs a sharp primary cutting blade with a supporting counter-blade. This design delivers a crisp, slice-like cut through tougher green shoots and small branches while maintaining the pinpoint agility of a bud shear. The extended 200mm frame and long 73mm slender blade profile allow arborists, landscapers, and bonsai professionals to reach deep into crowded branch networks, pine canopies, and dense hedges without bruising surrounding growth.

Whole-body hand-forged from high-grade carbon steel, This Model incorporates Tobisho's signature 3D hollow back-grinding (Urasuki) to prevent sap adhesion and expert crossover tuning (Hinari) for smooth, line-of-contact cutting without bark tearing. Complete with a secure bottom metal latch (Kanatome), this versatile "all-in-one" hybrid tool is ideal for fine pine candle management (Metsumi), shoot selection, and general garden maintenance.

Key Features & Craftsmanship:

 Single-Edged (Kataba) Slicing Power: Combines the clean bypass cutting action of a pruner with the slender precision of a bud shear for effortless slicing through tougher green growth.

 Extended 73mm Long Blade: Long, narrow blade geometry reaches deep into dense pine canopies and crowded foliage to access hard-to-reach buds and stems.

 Versatile Hybrid Performance: Multi-purpose tool that smoothly transitions from fine bud thinning and candle pinching to light branch pruning and harvesting.

 Master Urasuki & Hinari Alignment: Concave inner blade geometry minimizes sap buildup and cutting friction, paired with precision crossover tuning for clean, tear-free cuts.

 High-Carbon Whole-Body Forging: Hand-hammered cutlery steel delivers exceptional hardness, structural toughness, and long-lasting edge retention.

 Traditional Kanatome Bottom Lock: Secure metal latch mechanism keeps the shears safely closed when holstered.
