Azumagawa Professional Pruning Secateurs Total Length & Blade: 230mm / 75mm High-Grade Special Steel [Traditional Hand Forged from Scratch / Hollow Ground Back / Twisted Blade / Screw Joint / Thin Low-Resistance Blad ]

Description

Handcrafted by Azumagawa Horticultural Shear Works in Ono, Hyogo Prefecture—a legendary center for traditional blacksmithing—these large-format A-Type pruning secateurs (Model 378, Total Length 230mm) are precision-forged using high-grade special steel. Treated with Azumagawa’s proprietary "Maru-Yakiire" full-quenching heat treatment, they deliver maximum edge sharpness, high impact toughness, and exceptional structural resilience.

Engineered with a refined, slim A-type blade geometry, this large model bites deeply with surprisingly low cutting resistance. The extended 230mm frame and long 75mm blade provide maximum leverage, extended reach, and increased cut capacity, allowing arborists, landscapers, and orchardists to slice smoothly through thicker branches with minimal hand effort. Complete with an authentic Hollow Ground Back (Urasuki) and hand-adjusted Hinari alignment for smooth, sap-resistant performance.
