The workshop still uses tanzo, traditional forging, and finishes every pair by hand: the meeting of the blades, the smoothness of the pivot, the balance in your palm. Their stated aim is simple: tools made to stay, not to be replaced. Japan’s Good Design Award and a Sustainable Garden Product of the Show title at Melbourne’s 2023 flower and garden show followed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy You’ll Love It\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe edge is knife-sharp, so stems are sliced, not crushed. The asymmetrical handle is shaped so you can apply more force with less effort, and the genuine leather wrap gives a surer, more controlled grip than a bare handle. The carbon steel sharpens easily and holds a keen edge. And because a craftsman sets each pair by hand, the action feels smooth and balanced from the first cut.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMade for Real Life\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse it on live plants only; very dry wood, bamboo, frozen branches, wire and plastic are off limits. After pruning, wipe the blades dry, add a thin film of light oil on a cloth now and then, and store it indoors. The R3 eraser and R2 slim whetstone keep it like new.
