Onoyoshi Hybrid Long-Blade Pruning & Bud Trimming Scissors Total Length & Blade 210mm/85mm Weight: 230g 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 heartland of traditional Banshu blacksmithing—by Onoyoshi (Onoyoshi Hamono), the Authentic Hybrid Long-Blade Pruning & Bud Trimming Scissors 210mm is an extended-reach, master-grade professional shear engineered to combine the cutting strength of a bypass pruner with the deep-access capability of a long bud shear.

Crafted through over 100 dedicated manual steps, this tool features a whole-body hand-forged high-carbon monosteel construction. Built with a true bypass pruner blade structure (a sharp slicing blade pairing against a supporting anvil blade), it cuts through tougher small branches without deflection. The defining feature of this model is its extended 215mm frame and long 85mm slender blade profile, allowing arborists and landscapers to reach deep into dense pine canopies, thick shrubbery, and crowded branch crotches to make clean cuts without bruising surrounding foliage.

Equipped with Onoyoshi's signature file-textured, non-slip handles, it provides an exceptional grip even when working in wet conditions or with resinous plant sap. Whole-body heat-treated for long-lasting toughness, it includes precision 3D hollow back-grinding (Urasuki) to prevent sap buildup and expert crossover tuning (Hinari) for smooth, line-of-contact cutting without bark tearing. Complete with a traditional bottom metal lock (Kanatome) and a spare replacement spring, this long-blade hybrid shear is an indispensable tool for high-reach pine candle management (Metsumi) and general canopy thinning.

Key Features & Craftsmanship:

 Extended 85mm Long-Blade Reach: Long, narrow blade profile glides deep into crowded branch networks and tall pine canopies for deep-access bud selection and stem cutting.

 2-in-1 Hybrid Bypass Geometry: Fuses the branch-cutting power of a bypass pruner with the slender reach of a long bud shear, handling fine pinching to small branch pruning.

 Whole-Body Hand-Forged Monosteel: Solid high-carbon cutlery steel hand-hammered and heat-treated throughout for exceptional toughness and easy resharpening on whetstones.

 Non-Slip File-Textured Handles: Precision file-patterned handle surfaces deliver a firm, confident hold even when exposed to water, sweat, or sap.

 Master Urasuki & Hinari Alignment: Concave inner blade surfaces minimize sap adhesion, while precision crossover alignment ensures a smooth, tear-free bite.

 Traditional Kanatome Bottom Lock & Spare Spring: Robust metal latch keeps the shear safely closed when holstered, supplemented by a complementary replacement spring.
