Tobisho Bud Trimming Scissors Double-Edged Total Length & Blade: 180mm/58mm Weight: 180g | Premium Japanese Carbon Cutlery Steel [Traditional Hand Forged from Scratch / Hollow Ground Back / Twisted Blade / Screw Joint / Bottom Spring Lock]

Description

Handcrafted in Yamagata Prefecture—a premier region renowned for centuries of Japanese blacksmithing—by Tobisho (Tobizuka Seisakusho), the Double-Edged Bud Trimming Scissors 180mm is a professional-grade Japanese shear engineered for fine bud thinning, foliage shaping, and precise pruning in dense branch structures.

Featuring a compact 180mm overall length with a 58mm slender blade profile, this model allows arborists, gardeners, and bonsai masters to easily navigate tight, crowded areas of trees and bushes without damaging surrounding growth. The double-edged (Ryoba) blade geometry delivers balanced, surgical precision, slicing cleanly from both sides to perform pine pruning (Metsumi), candle selection, and shoot thinning without crushing tender plant tissue.

Forged using Yamagata's traditional forging techniques and high-carbon cutlery steel, Tobisho shears are celebrated worldwide for their exceptionally smooth blade crossover (Suri-awase) and razor-sharp cutting feel. The blades feature hand-adjusted 3D hollow back-grinding (Urasuki) to prevent sap buildup and precise crossover alignment (Hinari) for an ultra-smooth, fluid bite and long-lasting edge retention.

Key Features & Craftsmanship:

 Slender Blade Profile for Dense Growth: Tapered 58mm blade reach allows seamless access into tight, crowded branch networks and dense foliage.

 Double-Edged (Ryoba) Precision: Balanced double-bevel geometry slices cleanly from both sides, protecting tender plant tissue from pinching or bruising.

 Tobisho Yamagata Hand-Forged Heritage: Handcrafted by Tobisho, legendary for exceptional blade alignment, ergonomic handle balance, and razor-sharp edges.

 Ideal for Fine Pine Pruning (Metsumi): Slender tip geometry provides surgical control for targeting individual buds, candles, and green shoots.

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

 High-Carbon Cutlery Steel: Formulated for superior hardness, edge retention, and easy maintenance on traditional whetstones.
