Tobisho is a Japanese manufacturer which specializes in shears for horticulture use and is based in Yamagata Prefecture, Japan. Thie shears feature hand-brazed blades made from Yasuki Aogami Hagane steel, renowned for its exceptional sharpness and durability. The pruners offer smooth and effortless cutting thanks to their round-edged blades and maintain high cutting capacity even with heavy use due to excellent friction resistance. Additionally, a stopper at the end of the handle ensures secure and compact storage, making them a top choice for professional gardeners and horticulturists. The ergonomic handles provide a comfortable grip, reducing hand fatigue during extended use. The handles are often wrapped in vinyl tape for added comfort and visibility.

Founded in 1930 as a scissors factory specializing in pruners and secateurs, Tobisho is a Japanese cutlery blacksmith based in Yamagata, a prefecture renowned for its long history with bladed tools and weapons, dating back to the samurai sword production of the 1300s. Upholding Yamagata’s traditional craft, Tobisho employs many traditional processes in their manufacturing to create the highest quality pruning shears, garden scissors, and garden clippers on the market. Each pair of Tobisho shears undergoes more than 200 meticulous steps, many performed by hand, including brazing, grinding, quenching, tempering, sharpening, and finishing. Expert craftsmen individually polish, counterbore, adjust, and tighten every pair, ensuring unparalleled precision and quality.
