Pruning Shears

Handmade (forged) pruning shears.

The distinctive blade is razor sharp and perfect for cutting plants. The entire process is done by hand, and the handle is colored by baking in a heating oven, so no chemicals used in general painting are used.

Toyama Cutlery was founded during the Bunkyū era of the Edo period. In 1861, the first generation started manufacturing wooden scissors on Sanjō Jūbei Kōji, now known as Shinmei-chō. The techniques have been carried on by subsequent generations, establishing them as the hereditary masters of Echigo wooden scissors.

Toyama Cutlery’s scissors are crafted using traditional techniques like “forge welding,” “back grinding,” and “double-edging,” gaining love and trust from customers worldwide for their exceptional quality. We combine traditional skills with modern machine technology to continually improve the sharpness, durability, and overall quality. With a commitment to preserving our cherished tradition, we aim to deliver enduring trust and quality to our customers, upholding a legacy of 160 years.
