Sale price$28.00
SKU: TY-R2

A slim Whetstone for sharpening shears without disassembly – ideal for tight gaps and various blades.

Quantity:

This slim whetstone is designed to sharpen shears without the need for disassembly. Its thin profile allows it to reach narrow gaps in the blade, making it suitable for all types of shears and cutting tools. It can also be used for other blades. Medium grit, #320.

To Toyama Homono, a good edge is about how the blade enters the branch or stem, how smoothly it moves through the cut, and how much control the user feels in the hand. They pay close attention to balance, blade contact, and finishing. A good tool should cut cleanly and move smoothly, without asking for more force than it should.

Every pair of Toyama Hamono shears is finished by hand, one at a time. That means fine adjustments no factory line can replicate are possible — the way the blades meet, the smoothness of the pivot, the overall balance when you pick them up. These details may seem small, but are noticeable them the moment you make your first cut.

These tools are not ment to be replaced. With proper care, a pair of Toyama Homono shears will serve you for many years. And as the handle wears to the shape of your grip and the action settles into a familiar rhythm, the tool becomes uniquely yours. They believe that is part of what makes a good tool worth owning.

Toyama Hamono's work has been recognized both in Japan and internationally. Examples include the Good Design Award and the Sustainable Garden Product of the Show at the 2023 Melbourne International Flower & Garden Show.

Toyama Homono

Toyama Hamono was founded in 1861 in Sanjo, a city in Niigata Prefecture with a long tradition of metalworking. Rooted in the art of tanzo (traditional forging), they continue to make shears built for real, everyday use. They do not make tools for display, but pride themselves on making tools that cut cleanly, sit comfortably in your hand, and grow more reliable with every season. That belief guides everything they do — from the steel they choose to the final adjustment before a pair of shears leaves their workshop.
