Tobisho Flagship Pruning Secateurs Specially-Made Total Length & Blade: 95mm/61mm Yasuki Special Cutlery Steel [Traditional Hand Forged from Scratch / Master Hand-Forged / Hollow Ground Back / Twisted Blade / Screw Joint]

Description

Handcrafted in Yamagata Prefecture by Tobisho (Tobizuka Shears Works), the Specially-Made Tobisho-Type 195mm is a flagship masterwork celebrated for its revolutionary, ergonomic handle geometry and surgical cutting action. Designed for high-volume professional arborists, master gardeners, and fruit growers, it offers unmatched comfort and control during extended field work.

The hallmark of the Tobisho-Type is its distinctive wave-contoured handle profile. Master blacksmiths forge subtle ridges and hollows into the iron body, allowing the operator's fingers to anchor naturally into the grip. This unique ergonomic shape distributes squeezing force evenly across the entire hand, eliminating hot spots and dramatically reducing grip fatigue.

Forged from genuine Hitachi Yasuki Special Carbon Steel, the primary blade features a widened, tapered spine that transitions into an extremely fine, acute cutting edge. Combined with precision 3D concave hollow grinding (Urasuki) and twisted crossover alignment (Hinari), this specialized profile yields a superior "slice-through" feel with minimal friction. An internal shock-absorbing spring mechanism dampens end-of-cut recoil, while a traditional genuine leather bottom latch provides a quiet, tactile closure.

Note: Due to its ultra-fine, razor-sharp edge geometry, avoid twisting the shears or cutting dead, seasoned hardwood to prevent edge damage.
