These super sharp steel Pruning Shears are designed and produced entirely in Japan by skilled craftsmen in Tsubame-Sanjo, an area famous for its metal and wood works. Meticulously handmade using traditional metal crafting techniques these elegant yet efficient shears are up for even the toughest tasks. They’re made using a special kind of Japanese stainless steel that lends itself to exceptional sharpness and rust resistance.
The elegance of its Pruning Shears reflects Sakae Sasagawa’s love of gardening: “When we make our shears, we are considering three elements to make people happy when enjoying gardening and ikebana: the blade sharpness and smoothness, the shape of the handle that considers the user, and [creating] a shaft that reliably conveys the gripping force,” says Rieko Asano, granddaughter of founders Teiuke Sakae Asano.
