Tobisho Bud Trimming Scissors Double-Edged Total Length & Blade: 200mm/76mm Weight: 200g | 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 200mm is an extended, professional-grade Japanese shear engineered for pine pruning (Metsumi), candle pinching, and detailed trimming in dense, crowded foliage.

Featuring a 200mm overall length with an extended 76mm slender blade reach, this model provides excellent leverage and deep clearance into tangled branch networks where shorter shears struggle to reach. The double-edged (Ryoba) blade geometry delivers balanced, surgical precision, slicing cleanly from both sides to protect tender plant tissue from crushing or pinching.

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:

 Extended Reach & High Leverage: 200mm overall length with a 76mm slender blade reach allows seamless access deep into dense branch structures and high foliage.

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