Extremely light and easy-to-handle professional two-handle Japanese pruning shears from the renowned MASAMUNE brand for trimming foliage on topiary.
Model 106A, polished Shirogami (white paper) steel blades to reduce rust.
Hammered "leopard" pattern finish on the tang near the handles.
The body of the blade is hollowed on the inside for lightness and flexibility. This groove allows the removal of debris and sap that tends to get stuck between the blades during long jobs. It also allows the blades to twist slightly to reduce friction and optimise cutting. The cutting edges come into contact at the point where they cross, with a sound that speaks volumes about the quality of the cut.
Please note that this model is designed for pruning herbaceous parts (leaves and young stems) and is not suitable for pruning woody parts (branches). Do not prune branches with these shears as you may damage the cutting edges.
Due to their specific use for pruning (karikomi), there are no stops and the blades can cross freely and smoothly. Caution: Always pick up your pruning shears by the handles, never by the blades! You could seriously injure yourself. We recommend that you wear gloves when using or sharpening the shears and store them in their sheath when not in use.
