■Features:
These are forged, handmade leaf-pruning shears that use the highest quality Yasugi steel "Aogami Super," which is harder and more resilient than Aogami steel, for the cutting blade.
Through careful heat treatment of hardening and tempering, the high hardness and resilience of the material are fully brought out, resulting in a very long-lasting sharp edge.
Enjoy the extremely pleasant feel that you will never find in mass-produced products.

■Caution:
This product is a professional-grade pruning shear.
When using it for the first time, please start by cutting soft leaves to break in the blades.
We ask that those unfamiliar with using pruning shears refrain from purchasing this product.

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.

Note: If you send the purchased shears to us for sharpening and repair, we will provide these services at cost, provided you cover the shipping fees.
