Premium Japanese Edges with A New Level of Comfort

  • Laminated blades offer the ultimate in sharpness for floristy and trimming of tight-wound plants.
  • Gorgeous tan leather handle wrap features hand stitching and feels amazing in the hand
  • Comfortable pruning all day long

Description

Designed for precision work on live plants—such as flowers and houseplants—these high-quality Japanese snips are hand-forged and sharpened using traditional methods. Each pair carries its own unique character and variation, finished with hand-bound tan leather and waxed thread for a refined yet rustic touch.

The curved cowhide leather handles are crafted to offer exceptional comfort and grip. They develop a beautiful patina over time, shaped by your use, exposure to sunlight, and contact with sap—making them not only a tool but a testament to your gardening journey.

These snips are ideal for delicate pruning, deadheading, and fine trimming, especially where control and tactile feedback are essential. Made by Toyama Hamono—renowned masters of pruning tools since the 1860s—the drop-forged handles and beautifully curved blades are a mark of craftsmanship, shipped boxed with a protective black leather sheath.


Care and Maintenance

These snips are not intended for cutting woody stems, wire, or dead branches. Always clean and lightly oil the blade with camellia oil or Yanipika after use to maintain performance and prevent sap buildup.
