Murahisa Bud Trimming Scissors Double-Edged Total Length & Blade: 240mm/100mm Weight: 250g | Premium Japanese Carbon Cutlery Steel [Traditional Hand Forged from Scratch / Hollow Ground Back / Twisted Blade / Screw Joint / Bottom Spring Lock]

Description

Handcrafted in Yamagata City, Yamagata Prefecture—the prestigious realm of traditional Yamagata blacksmithing—by Nomuraya Shears Works, the Murahisa Double-Edged Bud Trimming Scissors 240mm is an extra-long, commercial-grade Japanese shear designed for maximum deep reach into dense branch networks, high tree canopies, and intricate pine foliage. Nomuraya holds an honored place in Japanese cutlery history, having been inspected by Emperor Showa during his post-war national tour, and its hand-forged tools are so exceptionally rare that backorders often take years to fulfill.

Featuring an impressive 240mm overall length paired with a long, slender 100mm blade profile, this model allows arborists, gardeners, and bonsai masters to reach deep into heavily tangled branches and dense growth where standard shears cannot enter. The double-edged (Ryoba) blade geometry delivers surgical cutting precision, slicing cleanly from both sides to perform fine pine pruning (Metsumi), needle selection, and shoot thinning without crushing or damaging surrounding foliage.

Forged using traditional flame forging (Hizukuri) and premium high-carbon cutlery steel, each pair is hand-hammered and finished by master blacksmiths. It incorporates traditional 3D hollow back-grinding (Urasuki) to prevent sap adhesion and precise crossover alignment (Hinari) for a light, fluid cutting action and exceptional structural durability.

Key Features & Craftsmanship:

 Extra-Long Reach & Slender Blade Profile: Extended 240mm frame with a long 100mm blade enables effortless reach into deep, tangled pine branches and dense foliage.

 Double-Edged (Ryoba) Geometry: Balanced double-bevel edges deliver crisp, surgical cuts without pinching or crushing delicate buds and tender needles.

 Yamagata Hand-Forged Heritage: Handcrafted by Nomuraya Shears Works, a historic blacksmith honored by Emperor Showa's official visit, renowned for producing rare, heirloom-quality shears.

 Ideal for Fine Pine Pruning (Metsumi): Slender tip geometry provides surgical control for targeting individual buds and needles deep inside crowded branches.

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

 High-Carbon Cutlery Steel: Outstanding razor-sharp edge retention (Nagagire) that responds exceptionally well to maintenance on traditional whetstones.
