Professional Japanese Pruning Scissors: Plant Health and Hand Comfort
Tobisho professional Japanese pruning scissors are a benchmark of excellence in the world of gardening tools.
These instruments, the result of centuries of artisanal tradition, are designed to ensure a clean and precise cut, essential for the health of your plants.
Thanks to their high-quality craftsmanship, Tobisho scissors minimize the risk of crushing and bark damage, a crucial factor in preventing attacks from bacteria and fungi.
The concave blade shape of Tobisho scissors allows for clean cuts that preserve the plant’s sap. Sap acts as a natural barrier against infection, keeping plants healthy and vigorous.
In contrast, using lower-quality commercial scissors can lead to irregular cuts that fray the bark, causing sap leakage and increasing the risk of disease.
Another distinctive feature of Tobisho scissors is the final blade treatment, sharpened like a katana. This precision not only ensures optimal penetration into the branch but also facilitates exit, making the pruning process more fluid and less tiring.
With Tobisho scissors, you can work for hours without experiencing muscle strain, a common issue with lower-quality tools.
Choosing Tobisho professional Japanese pruning scissors means investing in the health of your plants and the comfort of your hands.
With Tobisho, every cut becomes a gesture of care and attention, turning pruning into a rewarding and productive experience. Don’t settle for less—choose the quality and tradition of Tobisho scissors.
Tobisho Ryoba Mekiri Scissors
Harvest-and-clean scissors for grapes and various fruits, made from premium Japanese steel. This tool is designed to deliver a clean and precise cut, thanks to its carbon steel blade, hand-forged and tempered.
Its triangular blade section acts like a surgical tweezer, allowing you to navigate easily through dense branches loaded with clusters and fruits, without damaging other berries or stems. This increases work speed while reducing fatigue.
But that’s not all: the scissors are also ideal for trimming and pruning plants and flowers, making them a versatile tool for every gardener. A durable and long-lasting product, crafted by artisan blacksmiths who carry forward the passion and quality of the great masters of the past.

The Hamaguri Blade:
The blade of Tobisho scissors is designed to deliver exceptional performance. Polished like a mirror, its unique shape resembles a Hamaguri shell, making every cut precise and effortless.
Thanks to these innovative features, the blade facilitates entry and exit between branches, significantly reducing friction and strain on the hands. Choosing Tobisho scissors means choosing quality and comfort in scissors that combine tradition and technology, ensuring flawless results and less fatigue.
One Hundred Handcrafted Steps
It takes more than 100 steps to transform two steel bars into a pair of TOBISHO scissors.
This is why Tobisho pruning scissors last much longer than others: they are more durable because they consist of only two parts plus the screw and spring.
Tobisho Pruning Scissors: A Prime Example of Sustainability and Efficiency
Thanks to traditional manufacturing methods and the two-piece construction, these scissors do not produce unnecessary waste such as maintenance substances or spare parts. This makes them an eco-friendly choice for those who care for plants without compromising the environment.

Comment
The specialized model for plants and flowers, and for harvesting fruits thanks to the shape of its long, thin triangular blades. Perfect for gardening, farming, and viticulture.
How to Care for Your Scissors:
After use, remove resin with a hard cloth before drying thoroughly and applying a thin layer of mineral oil (such as engine oil). If the resin has hardened, scrape it off with a hard plastic object (like a ruler).
To keep the scissors in top condition, inject a drop of oil around the screw (on the inner part where blade and counter-blade meet).
The Hamaguri blade is usable on nearly 30% of the visible surface. It doesn’t need frequent sharpening because even if it’s chipped, it still cuts beautifully thanks to its unique shape.
If sharpened too often, the blade wears down with each sharpening. For daily maintenance, we recommend sharpening with the dedicated Hamaguri blade stone: with this stone, the cut is always perfect and ensures a long life for the scissors.
* Never sharpen the back of the blade.
