No.3 270mm Topiary Clipper (Double and Straight Edge)

No.3 270mm Topiary Clipper (Double and Straight Edge)

Tobisho is a Japanese master blacksmithing forge that creates high-quality, handmade pruning shears and garden scissors that are highly rated by professionals both in and outside of Japan.

These shears are made of high carbon steel, which means they are extremely sharp and have great edge retention. Unlike most pruning shears, these feature two blades – like scissors. This makes them ideal for pruning leaves. Leaf shears are a great tool for topiary shaping and keeping trees and hedges neat and clean.

They are made to be used with one hand and combining that with their extra-long blades makes them especially efficient gardening tools.

Each handle is covered in a red and/or yellow grip. This makes the handles easier to grip and easier to find if left in a garden bed!

{Information}Care Instructions

The blades are made of high carbon steel. High carbon steel blades must be treated to avoid rusting. Japanese traditionally use Camellia (Tsubaki) Oil to treat high carbon steel tools. Other suitable oils may also be used. Ensure the blade is clean and dry before applying Camellia Oil. Simply wipe the blade with a clean cloth impregnated with Camellia Oil. Re-apply after each use. Although the blades of Tobisho secatuers, shears, pruners and clippers are made of hardened steel, they're not impervious to misuse. Only use for the specified activity on this page. Do not cut wire, metal, stone, plastic or any other hard material. Even bamboo fibres and some very hard woods, especially knots and burrs, can damage hardened steel edges. Dropping the tool onto a hard surface may cause the blade to break. Do not twist or apply uneven pressure. Cutting should occur along the section of the edge(s) closest to the handle. Cutting at the point or tip runs the risk of snapping the blade.
