Hidehisa Single Edged Hybrid Pruning & Bud Trimming Scissors Total Length & Blade: 190mm/60mm Weight: 152g High Carbon Steel [Machine-Forged & Hand-Finished / Hollow Ground Back / Twisted Blade / Screw Joint / Ultra Featherweight/ Bottom Lock]

Description 

Handcrafted in Sanjo, Niigata Prefecture—a legendary center of modern Japanese cutlery—by Toyama Hamono (established over 180 years ago), the Hidehisa YP-190 (T-26) Ultra-Featherweight Hybrid Pruning & Bud Scissors 190mm pushes ergonomic refinement and lightweight agility to the absolute pinnacle of Japanese tool design.

Weighing an astonishingly light 152g, the YP-190 is one of the lightest 190mm hybrid pruners ever crafted. Its defining feature is a uniquely contoured, ergonomic grip designed to nestle comfortably into the palm. This specialized handle shape ensures exceptional leverage and comfort, making the tool feel like an intuitive extension of the hand while drastically minimizing hand, wrist, and forearm fatigue during extended commercial work.

Utilizing a single-edged (Kataba) bypass architecture, the T-26 functions as a high-performance "2-in-1" hybrid tool. It bridges the gap between a delicate bud shear and a sturdy bypass pruner, seamlessly combining a slender 60mm blade profile with impressive structural slicing authority. You can transition effortlessly from fine pine candle selection (Metsumi) and shoot pinching to cutting through woody stems and small branches (up to approx. 10mm) without blade flex. Hand-finished using Toyama's master heat-treatment techniques, 3D hollow back-grinding (Urasuki), and precision crossover tuning (Hinari), this shear delivers a silky-smooth, tissue-preserving cut with unmatched lightweight handling.

Key Features & Craftsmanship:

 Sanjo Precision Drop-Forged Heritage: Expertly forged and hand-finished by Toyama Hamono, blending 180+ years of blacksmithing heritage with modern precision engineering.

 Ultra-Featherweight 152g Build: An exceptionally light 152g frame drastically reduces physical strain during continuous, high-volume canopy pruning.

 Ergonomic Hand-Fit Grip: Contoured handle geometry fits snugly into the palm for enhanced control, optimal force transfer, and ultimate comfort.

 2-in-1 Hybrid Bypass Geometry: Combines the slender tip reach of a bud shear with the branch-cutting strength of a bypass pruner, handling tender green shoots to 10mm woody stems.

 Proprietary Heat-Treated Carbon Steel: Premium Japanese high-carbon cutlery steel engineered for extreme hardness, superior edge retention, and easy whetstone resharpening.

 Master Urasuki & Hinari Alignment: Precision concave inner blade surfaces eliminate sap friction, while tuned crossover geometry guarantees a crisp, zero-gap slicing action.

 Traditional Metal Bottom Lock: Secure bottom latch mechanism holds handles firmly together when holstered or stored.
