Tobisho Hybrid Long-Blade Pruning & Bud Scissors Total Length & Blade: 205mm/72mm Weight: 200g | High Carbon Steel [Traditional Hand Forged from Scratch / Hollow Ground Back / Twisted Blade / Screw Joint / Bottom Lock]

Description

Handcrafted in Yamagata City, Yamagata Prefecture—the historic heartland of traditional Yamagata blacksmithing—by Tobisho (Tobizuka Seisakusho), the Hybrid Long-Blade Pruning & Bud Trimming Scissors 205mm is an extended-reach professional shear designed to combine the cutting power of a pruner with the surgical accuracy of a bud shear.

This Model expands on Tobisho's popular hybrid design by featuring an extended 205mm frame and a long 72mm slender blade profile. This long-reach geometry allows arborists and landscapers to reach significantly deeper into dense pine branch networks, thick hedges, and crowded canopies without damaging surrounding needles or tender growth. It effortlessly handles delicate candle selection (Metsumi), bud thinning, and light twig pruning up to small branch cuts.

Whole-body hand-forged from high-grade carbon steel, this Model includes Tobisho’s signature precision features: 3D hollow back-grinding (Urasuki) to prevent sap buildup, and expert crossover tuning (Hinari) for smooth, line-of-contact cutting without tearing bark. Fitted with a traditional bottom clasp lock (Kanatome), this versatile "all-in-one" tool is an indispensable asset for comprehensive tree care and fine garden maintenance.

Key Features & Craftsmanship:

 Extended Long-Blade Design: Long 72mm blade reach allows deep penetration into thick, tangled branch structures and deep pine canopies.

 Versatile Hybrid Power & Precision: Bridges the gap between heavy pruners and bud scissors, handling everything from delicate pine candle selection to light branch cuts.

 Master Urasuki & Hinari Alignment: Concave inner blade geometry minimizes sap adhesion and friction, while expert crossover tuning ensures smooth, tear-free cuts.

 Slender Profile for Surgical Access: Narrow tip glides seamlessly between tight branch splits to make precise cuts without bruising adjacent foliage.

 High-Carbon Whole-Body Forging: Hand-hammered cutlery steel delivers extraordinary hardness, structural toughness, and long-lasting edge retention.

 Traditional Kanatome Bottom Lock: Secure metal latch mechanism keeps the shears safely closed when holstered.
