These beautifully crafted shears feature blades forged with laminated white paper steel cutting edges.
Their excellent cut makes working with them a joy, reduces the risk of infection and improves the presentation of the plant. Although these shears can cut through branches of 10mm when they are placed close to the pivot point, they are happiest trimming and pruning lighter, leafier stems.
‘Urasuki’ is a technique to shave inner blades to create a slight hollow. The gap created between two blades enables to the blades to move efficiently for sharp cuts even in the presence of some resins and plant sap.
Their shorter handles make this pair highly manoeuvrable, and if you are looking to maintain plants that are no taller than you are, we think they are the way to over a longer pair thanks to their lighter weight and ease of use.
Like all gardening tools we recommend blades are cleaned with a solvent (such as Yanipika) and wiped with a lubricant such as Camellia oil before putting away.
