Onoyoshi Pruning Secateurs Left-Handed Model Total Length & Blade: 200mm/63mm Japanese High-Carbon Cutlery Steel [Traditional Hand Forged from Scratch / Hollow Ground Back / Twisted Blade / Screw Joint]

Description

Handcrafted in Ono City, Hyogo Prefecture—the historic heartland of Banshu blacksmithing—by Ono Yoshi Shears, the Left-Handed Pruning Secateurs 200mm  is a dedicated Japanese bypass pruning shear custom-engineered for left-handed professionals and gardening enthusiasts.

Unlike standard shears used in the left hand, this tool features a true left-handed mirror-image construction. The cutting blade, counter-blade, and joint hardware are fully reversed. This design allows left-handed operators to view the cut line cleanly without physical obstruction while applying natural hand squeezing leverage that pulls the blades together for precise, razor-sharp cuts.

Forged entirely from premium Japanese high-carbon cutlery steel using centuries-old Banshu metalworking traditions, each pair undergoes rigorous manual forging and hand-finishing. The resulting blade offers exceptional structural toughness, a razor-sharp edge, and fluid slicing performance that minimizes hand strain during long commercial field operations.
