Crafted from premium high-carbon Japanese steel by legacy manufacturer Toyama Hamono, these garden shears are ergonomically designed for comfort and precision cutting. The sleek black colored handles are achieved through furnace baking, without the use of chemicals. Their high quality, timeless design and outstanding utility make them a worthy recipient of the prestigious Good Design Award, given to products that have withstood the test of time. 

Toyama Hamono was established in 1861 during the Bunkyu era of the Edo period. Rooted in the craftsmanship of traditional Japanese samurai sword-making, they have been meticulously handcrafting secateurs and shears for nearly 165 years. Toyama Hamono’s garden shears are expertly crafted one by one using modern techniques deeply rooted in Japanese tradition, employing methods such as fire-forging, fire-coloring, and back-grinding or uratogi. By blending time-honored craftsmanship with modern machine technology, they continually enhance sharpness, durability, and overall performance.  

To prevent rust, clean and dry thoroughly after each use.  For long-term storage, apply a light coat of oil to maintain their quality. Recommended maximum cutting diameter: 15mm.
