Scissors (2) - Steel - Garden shears

This is a set of two traditional Japanese-forged pruning shears—classic, handcrafted tools highly esteemed in the worlds of Japanese gardening and bonsai. Each pair is the work of a traditional Japanese master blacksmith and bears the artisan’s signature engraved on the blade.
Forged as a single piece using traditional Japanese steel-working techniques, the metal has been repeatedly hammered to achieve a dense, robust structure. Expertly quenched, the blades offer exceptional edge retention, allowing for the cutting of tough, woody stems without the risk of the edge rolling or deforming. Featuring a classic bypass design, these shears utilize a leverage-based mechanism that reduces the effort required for cutting. They offer a solid, substantial grip and operate with a smooth, fluid motion. Each pair comes with its original leather strap, designed to secure the blades in a closed position—a testament to their role as essential, reliable workhorses for gardeners and bonsai artists of the past.
