Traditional Forging Process and Hand-Finished by Craftsmen—"Honmamon" (Authentic) Pruning Shears

1. Forged Blades These blades are made through the traditional process of forging, where soft iron (very mild steel) is welded with hard steel (cutlery steel) and then hammered and forged. This ancient blacksmithing technique refines the steel particles, enhancing both hardness and toughness.

2. Superior Sharpness through Hand-Finishing To ensure the outstanding sharpness of the blades, they are meticulously hand-finished. The back of the blade is hollow-ground, and the edges are finely adjusted and subtly twisted for a soft yet firm cutting action.

Meticulous Craftsmanship The careful forging process ensures smooth and stable blade operation, while the delicate hand-finishing delivers exquisite sharpness.
