We are proud to present an exclusive preview on Niwashi.fr of the latest addition to the prestigious ONOYOSHI brand !
The BZ-210-2 model, Japanese pruning shears made of hardened S58C steel, angle B, size 205 mm
A completely original design, with two prongs reminiscent of fish fins, created by the Tanaka brothers, the latest generation of blacksmiths for the brand.
Entirely forged, hardened and polished by hand. Magnificent !
Its unique shape gives it power and precision when gripping. I love it!
The lugs fit into the hollow of the thumb on one side and between the index and middle fingers on the other.
The index finger, slightly extended, "indicates” where you want to cut, and the middle finger, less spread apart, retains all its power to make the cut. A truly well-designed ergonomic design!
Weight : 256 g. Length : 210 mm. Blades : 55 mm.
S58C tempered steel with moderate carbon content, more resistant to impact, significantly extending the time between sharpening.
Hardness rating (Rockwell) : HRC 58 to 60 (European blades are often between 48 and 52).
The blades are hand-polished to a mirror finish for a perfect cut, to limit resin adhesion and to make them easier to clean.
Blades and handles are forged from a single piece for durability.
Dynamic and flexible "pine needle” type spring.
Equipped with a 12mm blade tightening nut.
Steel clasp.
Comes with an extra "pine needle” spring in an attractive black Japanese cardboard box (red interior) covered with ideograms specifying the type and origin on white Japanese Washi paper.
More than 100 steps are required to bring you this tool, from the raw steel bar to the finished, packaged product...
Ideal for all gardening professionals, horticulturists, or demanding individuals, these exceptional pruning shears are also a magnificent tool.
We offer SA-15 leather cases to keep your tool on your belt.
To avoid leaving it on the ground and losing it, we also offer safety cords to keep your tool attached to its case.
To maintain your pruning tool, we recommend cleaning it after use with a cleaning eraser, then, after rinsing and drying, protecting it from corrosion with camellia oil using an abura tsubo.
Finally, for sharpening, we recommend investing in a #1000 grit whetstone, which is perfect for Japanese steel garden cutlery.
Made in Japan.
