Japanese Gardening Tool

Japanese Pruning Shears 8"

These forged, differentially tempered pruning shears feature spring loaded blades that are angled in relation to the handles to create an easier cutting action. The blades have a thin blade profile suitable for bonsai, topiary, flower arranging and garden maintenance. This pair features an ergonomic handle for a comfortable, secure grip. For safety, a catch is provided to lock the blades in the closed position. The cutting blade is forge-welded from inlaid high carbon "white" steel. The master blacksmith then carefully tempers each blade for increased edge life, and hones it to a razor edge. Maximum cut is 1-1/4 inch. This is the sort of tool that makes working in the yard a pleasure.

They're pretty nice, you can feel the quality. There's zero play, the action is really nice and they have a cool sound, and they give you a lot of cutting power....dangerously sharp and powerful sort of like tin snips but with more accuracy.
