Tobisho Professional Pruning Secateurs Total Length & Blade: 200mm/64mm High-Grade Japanese Carbon Cutlery Steel [Traditional Hand Forged from Scratch / Hollow Ground Back / Twisted Blade / Screw joint / Power-Leverage Handle]

Description

Handcrafted in Yamagata Prefecture by Tobisho (Tobizuka Shears Works), the B-Type 200mm (Model 1225) pruning secateur is a full-sized Japanese bypass shear engineered for optimal leverage, maximum efficiency, and fatigue-free heavy pruning. Masterfully hand-forged from high-grade Japanese high-carbon cutlery steel, this tool utilizes full-steel forging to deliver exceptional structural toughness, superior edge retention, and dependable shearing power.

Featuring a versatile 200mm overall length and a 64mm blade measured from the bolt center, the B-Type geometry is specifically contoured to transfer hand pressure smoothly and without loss all the way to the tip of the blade, making thick or tough branch cutting feel remarkably effortless. The cutting blade incorporates Tobisho's signature 3D curved Urasuki (hollow ground back) and tuned crossover alignment (Hinari), which drastically reduces steel-to-steel friction, prevents tree sap buildup, and ensures razor-sharp, clean bites. Complete with a traditional brass bottom handle latch (Kana-dome), this 200mm B-Type model is an essential workhorse for orchardists, arborists, and professional landscapers handling demanding daily field work.
