Hasamiya Ichiban Bud Trimming Scissors Single-Edged Total Length & Blade: 185mm/58mm Weight: 185g | 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 185mm is an exceptionally versatile hybrid shear designed to bridge the gap between fine bud trimmers (Mekiri-basa) and heavy-duty pruning shears (Sentei-basa). Modern professional gardeners increasingly favor this model over traditional garden shears (Ueki-basa) due to its superior power-to-weight ratio and fatigue-reducing spring action.

Featuring a single-edged (Kataba) geometry with a contoured pruner-style counter blade, this shear provides strong bracing support that enables effortless cuts through small branches and thick shoots while preserving delicate tip control for pine pruning (Metsumi) and fine bud thinning.

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:

 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 spring-assisted leverage to reduce hand fatigue during extended pruning.

 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.

 Versatile Range: Ideal for pine candling, foliage shaping, and cutting small branches across garden maintenance and orchard work.
