Kakijiku, Japanese Professional Pruning Shears: Precision and Plant Care

The Kakijiku Tobisho Japanese professional pruning shears are among the finest tools in the world of pruning equipment.

Crafted through a centuries‑old artisanal tradition, they deliver a clean and accurate cut, essential for keeping plants healthy and vigorous.

Their superior build quality minimizes bark damage and crushing, reducing the risk of bacterial and fungal infections.

The concave blade shape ensures precise cuts that preserve the plant’s sap flow, a natural defense mechanism.

Lower‑quality shears often create irregular cuts that cause sap loss and increase the likelihood of disease.

Another hallmark of Tobisho shears is the final blade finish, sharpened with the same care as a katana. This ensures smooth entry into the branch and effortless release.

With Tobisho shears, you can work for long periods without hand fatigue thanks to their ergonomic design and cutting precision.

Choosing Tobisho Japanese pruning shears means investing in both plant health and user comfort.

Every cut becomes an act of care and attention, turning pruning into a rewarding and productive experience.

Tobisho Double Curved Blade Shears: Precision and Tradition

The Tobisho double curved blade shears are a professional tool forged and tempered by master craftsmen in the Tobisho workshop in Japan.

Using traditional techniques passed down through generations, each pair receives a hand‑sharpened finish that ensures durability and accuracy.

The curved blades allow for delicate fruit and vegetable harvesting, while the design enables the blades to cross without touching, reducing wear.

Unlike common shears that wear out quickly, the Tobisho model maintains a perfect overlap for consistently clean cuts.

Highly valued by Japanese farmers, these shears are ideal for cutting stems, pedicels and deep calyxes without damaging nearby fruit.

Whether you are a professional grower or a gardening enthusiast, the Tobisho double curved blade shears are a reliable investment for precise pruning.

The Hamaguri Blade

The Hamaguri blade is engineered for exceptional cutting performance. Its mirror‑polished edge and shell‑inspired profile ensure precision and smooth movement.

This geometry reduces friction and makes both entry and exit through branches effortless, minimizing hand strain.

Choosing Tobisho shears means relying on a tool that blends tradition with innovation, delivering excellent results with less effort.

One Hundred Handcrafted Steps

More than 100 individual steps are required to transform two steel bars into a pair of Tobisho shears.

This two‑piece construction, plus screw and spring, makes the shears stronger and longer‑lasting than conventional models.

Tobisho Shears: Sustainability and Efficiency

Thanks to traditional craftsmanship and a minimal structure, these shears require no unnecessary spare parts or maintenance chemicals, making them an eco‑friendly choice.

Choosing Tobisho means investing in a high‑quality tool while supporting sustainable gardening practices.

Features

• Clean and precise cuts thanks to the hand‑forged carbon steel blade.
• Unique blade shape that prevents crushing and promotes fast healing.
• Katana‑style final sharpening for smooth penetration and reduced muscle strain.
• Ergonomic handle that is lightweight, solid and slip‑resistant.

Comment

An ideal model for cutting deep calyxes and stems without damaging surrounding fruit.

Usage Precautions

When new, the blade is extremely sharp. Until you become familiar with it, start by cutting thinner branches.

For thicker branches, insert the blade at the base at a 45‑degree angle and rotate gently.

Avoid twisting the blade during cutting to prevent loosening the central screw.

How to Care for the Shears

After use, remove resin, dry thoroughly and apply a thin layer of mineral oil.

For daily maintenance, use the Hamaguri sharpening stone.

* Never sharpen the back of the blade.
