Hasamiya Ichiban Bud Trimming Scissors Narrow Blade Total Length & Blade: 200mm/75mm Weight: 200g | Premium Japanese Carbon Cutlery Steel/ Traditional Hand Forged from Scratch / Hollow Ground Back / Twisted Blade / Screw Joint / Bottom Spring Lock]

Description

Curated and crafted for professional arborists, landscapers, and master gardeners by Hasamiya Ichiban —one of Japan’s most revered specialized cutlery purveyors—the Single-Edged Pruning Bud Trimming Scissors 200mm Narrow Blade Profile is an extended, slim-profile hybrid shear engineered to reach deep into dense foliage, pine canopies, and intricate branch networks. Modern professional gardeners increasingly favor this model over traditional garden shears (Ueki-basa) due to its extended reach, superior leverage, and fatigue-reducing spring action.

Featuring a single-edged (Kataba) geometry with a contoured pruner-style counter blade, this shear provides strong bracing support to slice through small branches and thick shoots, while its distinctive narrow blade profile (Hosohaba) allows the slender tips to slide deep into tightly packed growth without nicking adjacent stems.

Individually hand-finished by master blacksmiths using high-grade Japanese carbon cutlery steel (such as Yasuki Steel), each tool offers exceptional edge hardness, structural tenacity, and long-lasting sharpness (Nagagire). The blades feature hand-tuned 3D hollow grinding (Urasuki) to prevent sap adhesion and precise crossover alignment (Hinari) for an ultra-smooth, fluid cutting glide.

Key Features & Craftsmanship:

 Slim Narrow Blade Profile (Hosohaba): Tapered, narrow blade geometry allows the tips to reach deep into dense growth, pine needles, and crowded inner branches.

 Single-Edged (Kataba) Hybrid Design: Pruner-style counter blade supports branches during high-force cuts, effortlessly handling small twigs where conventional double-edged bud shears struggle.

 Modern Alternative to Traditional Garden Shears (Ueki-basa): Offers the precise reach of traditional shears combined with 200mm leverage and spring-assisted operation to minimize hand fatigue.

 Hasamiya Ichiban Professional Quality: Hand-finished by expert smiths, creating a highly sought-after tool prized by commercial landscapers across Japan.

 Master Urasuki & Hinari Alignment: Concave inner blade geometry minimizes sap adhesion and cutting friction, paired with precision crossover tuning for a smooth, fluid bite.

 High-Grade Japanese Carbon Steel: Formulated for superior hardness, edge retention, and easy maintenance on traditional whetstones.
