Onoyoshi Double-Edged Bud Trimming Scissors Slim Model Total Length & Blade: 200mm/70mm Weight: 200g High Carbon Steel [Traditional Hand Forged from Scratch / Hollow Ground Back / Twisted Blade / Screw Joint / Bottom Lock]

Description

Handcrafted in Ono City, Hyogo Prefecture—the historic cradle of traditional Banshu blacksmithing—by Onoyoshi (Onoyoshi Hamono), the Authentic Double-Edged Bud Trimming Scissors 200mm is a master-grade professional shear forged using over 80 years of Japanese cutlery heritage.

Crafted through more than 100 meticulous hand steps, this model features a slender, tapered 70mm double-bevel blade geometry designed specifically to slip effortlessly into dense pine canopies, tight branch junctions, and crowded bonsai foliage. The balanced double-edged design cuts cleanly from both sides, preventing bark pinching and protecting delicate plant tissue during intricate pine needle selection (Metsumi), shoot pinching, and fine stem trimming.

Whole-body hand-forged from premium high-carbon cutlery steel, Onoyoshi shears incorporate traditional 3D hollow back-grinding (Urasuki) to prevent sap buildup and precise crossover alignment (Hinari) for an ultra-smooth, fluid bite with long-lasting edge retention. Complete with a secure bottom metal latch (Kanatome), this shear is built to be resharpened and maintained for a lifetime of commercial use.

Key Features & Craftsmanship:

 Slender Tapered Tip Geometry: Ultra-narrow 70mm blade profile penetrates deep into dense, tangled branch networks for pin-point bud and stem removal.

 Banshu Ono Hand-Forged Heritage: Expertly hand-forged using traditional flame-forging methods refined by Onoyoshi since 1936.

 Double-Edged (Ryoba) Precision: Balanced double-bevel cutting edges slice cleanly from both sides to ensure tear-free cuts on delicate shoots.

 Master Urasuki & Hinari Alignment: Concave inner blade surfaces minimize sap adhesion and friction, while expert crossover tuning ensures smooth cutting contact.

 High-Carbon Cutlery Steel: Hand-hammered carbon steel offers exceptional hardness, structural toughness, and easy sharpening on traditional whetstones.

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