Hanjiro Double-Edged Bud Trimming Scissors Total Length & Blade 200mm/77mm Weight: 200g High Carbon Steel [Traditional Hand Forged from Scratch / Hollow Ground Back / Twisted Blade / Screw Joint / Extended Reach / Bottom Lock]

Description

Handcrafted in Ono City, Hyogo Prefecture—the historic heartland of traditional Banshu blacksmithing—Hanjiro tools are forged by master blacksmiths using classic Japanese cutlery traditions. The Authentic Double-Edged Bud Trimming Scissors 200mm is an extended-reach, master-grade shear featuring an exceptionally refined blade crossover finish for smooth, effortless action during high-precision canopy work.

Unlike hybrid pruners built for heavy wood, this shear utilizes a symmetrical double-edged (Ryoba) blade geometry. Two razor-thin, razor-sharp blades meet precisely from both sides, slicing cleanly through soft green stems and tender growth without crushing delicate plant fibers. Paired with a slender 200mm frame and an extended 77mm pointed blade profile, it glides seamlessly deep into crowded pine foliage, tight branch junctions, and dense canopy pockets without damaging surrounding growth.

Hand-forged from premium high-carbon cutlery steel, Hanjiro shears feature custom 3D hollow back-grinding (Urasuki) to prevent sap buildup and expert crossover tuning (Hinari) for smooth, line-of-contact cutting from base to tip. Complete with a traditional bottom metal latch (Kanatome), this shear provides superior balance and reach for fine pine needle selection (Metsumi), bonsai refinement, and detailed garden trimming.

Key Features & Craftsmanship:

 Extended 77mm Slender Tip Reach: Long, narrow blade profile reaches deep into dense pine canopies and crowded foliage networks for surgical bud removal.

 Symmetrical Double-Edged (Ryoba) Precision: Twin razor-sharp blades slice evenly from both sides to ensure tear-free, tissue-preserving cuts on tender shoots.

 Smooth Master Blade Alignment: Precision crossover tuning delivers a silky-smooth cutting feel and a high-end, elegant hand finish.

 Banshu Ono Hand-Forged Heritage: Hand-hammered high-carbon steel construction offers high hardness, long edge retention, and easy resharpening on whetstones.

 Master Urasuki & Hinari Tuning: Concave inner blade surfaces minimize sap adhesion while ensuring clean, continuous blade contact.

 Traditional Kanatome Bottom Lock: Metal latch mechanism holds handles securely together when holstered or stored.
