Onoyoshi Hybrid Pruning & Bud Trimming Scissors Total Length & Blade 180mm/62mm 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 heartland of traditional Banshu blacksmithing—by Onoyoshi (Onoyoshi Hamono), the Authentic Hybrid Pruning & Bud Trimming Scissors 180mm is a master-grade, multi-purpose professional shear engineered to fuse the raw cutting strength of a bypass pruner with the surgical finesse of a bud shear.

Crafted through over 100 dedicated manual steps, this tool features a whole-body hand-forged high-carbon monosteel construction. Unlike standard double-bevel bud scissors, it utilizes a true bypass pruner blade geometry (a sharp slicing blade pairing against a curved anvil blade). This structure allows arborists and gardeners to slice through tougher small branches (up to approx. 10mm) without blade deflection, while its slender, tapered 62mm tip penetrates deep into dense foliage for precise pine needle selection (Metsumi), shoot pinching, and fine stem trimming.

Weighing a comfortable approx. 200g, the compact 180mm frame is equipped with Onoyoshi's signature file-textured, non-slip handles, offering maximum grip and control even when working with wet hands or resinous sap. Whole-body heat-treated for resilience, it includes precision 3D hollow back-grinding (Urasuki) to prevent sap buildup and expert crossover tuning (Hinari) for smooth, clean cuts without tearing bark. Complete with a traditional bottom metal lock (Kanatome) and a spare replacement spring, this versatile "2-in-1" hybrid shear is an indispensable companion for comprehensive garden care.

Key Features & Craftsmanship:

 2-in-1 Hybrid Bypass Geometry: Combines the branch-cutting power of a bypass pruner with the slender agility of a bud shear, effortlessly handling tasks from fine bud selection to small branch cuts.

 Whole-Body Hand-Forged Monosteel: Solid high-carbon cutlery steel hand-hammered and heat-treated throughout for exceptional strength, toughness, and long-lasting edge retention.

 Non-Slip File-Textured Handles: Precision file-patterned handle surfaces ensure a firm, stable grip even when exposed to water, sweat, or plant sap.

 Slender Tapered Tip (62mm): Narrow blade profile glides effortlessly into crowded branch junctions and dense pine canopies for pin-point cuts.

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

 Traditional Kanatome Bottom Lock & Spare Spring: Features a robust metal latch mechanism and includes a complementary replacement spring for long-term usability.
