TOB22 DOUBLE CURVED BLADE 

Forged and tempered scissors, manually sharpened by master blacksmiths using the technique handed down by their ancestors.

These secateurs have two thin curved blades for pruning and harvest: the two blades cross each other, without touching each other so they are consumed little.

The blades of common double-edged scissor wear over time, creating a gap between the two blades that makes cutting difficult. However, this model has a special structure in which two blades overlap, so it can be used for a long time. This model TOB22 is a model widely used by Japanese farmers.

Perfect scissors to cut the roots of garlic and onions etc...

* Not suitable for cutting branches.

A clean cut: more health for the plant, less fatigue for the hand

Tobisho pruning secateurs guarantee a clean and precise cut of the branch without crushing and wounds to the bark: thanks to the particular shape of the blade, the branches are less subject to attack by bacteria and fungi.

The surface of the cut is concave and preserves the sap capable of protecting the plant from infections, while with commercial scissors the cut is not clean, the bark frays and the sap slips away.

The final treatment of the Tobisho blade, sharpened like a Katana, guarantees ease of penetration and exit. It increases ease of use and reduces muscle disorders that often affect those who have to work many hours a day using lower quality secateurs.

One hundred processing phases: all by hand More than 100 steps are needed to get from two steel bars to a pair of TOBISHO secateurs.

This is why Tobisho secateurs last much longer than others: they are more resistant because they consist of only two pieces plus the screw and the spring.

Thanks to the traditional processing methods and to the construction in only two pieces, they do not produce waste like maintenance substances or parts to be changed. They are more environmentally friendly!

How to take care of the scissors:

After use, remove the resin with a hard cloth before drying as much as possible and apply a thin layer of mineral oil (such as motor oil). If it has hardened, scrape away with a hard plastic object (e.g. a ruler).

To keep the scissors in the best conditions, inject a drop of oil around the screw (on the inside, where the blade and counterblade are in contact).
