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.

Rust and dirt left on the tool can reduce its original performance and quality. We recommend cleaning it regularly and using/storing it in conditions that help prevent rust. After use, wipe off any dirt and moisture from the tool, especially around the blades, and store it indoors in a dedicated sheath or tool box. Applying a light coat of blade oil (cooking oil is also fine) while wiping will help protect the metal and make it less likely to rust. Please consider Toyama Homono's R3 Pruning Shears Rust Eraser in order to maintain the finish and make it easy to thoroughly remove built-up dirt and rust. And see Toyama Homono's Pruning Shears Sharpening Stone to keep the blades sharp and performing well.

Keep your shears dry whenever possible in order to prevent rust. If shears become wet while in use or after a thorough cleaning, be sure to dry completely, even by using a warm stove.

Attempting to cut very dry wood, bamboo, or frozen branches may damage the blades, so please use with care. Do not use this tool to cut artificial flowers, wire, plastic or anything else of the sort.
