It is a pair of scissors that you can experience Japanese tradition. The culture of the Japanese garden has developed along with the history of Kyoto.

It is highly rigid and is manufactured optimized for cutting tree branches. Kyoto's tools have been developed through dialogue with customers. The spirit is inherited by this scissors, and various minor changes are repeated to reach the current shape.
Because it is a completely professional scissors, we prioritize high hardness that produces cutting ability. The harder the steel, the more brittle it becomes, so a blade with increased hardness is not suitable for gardener who make unnecessary movements their hands when cutting.
* If the blade is chipped while using this scissors, there is almost no possibility that the product is responsible. We always inspect before shipping. This scissors is so special that we have to write this notice. Japanese young gardeners will be able to use these scissors while making many mistakes (chipped, drop it, can't use it very well, etc).
These scissors are manufactured with particular attention to the sound of cutting. When the lower part of the handle fits when you cut through, the characteristic sound of hitting an iron rod will reverberate around you. People in the area understand that you are pruning. In traditional Japanese culture, there is a culture that uses the five senses to imagine who is doing what, even if they cannot be seen.

Therefore, if you look closely, the hardness of the blade, the quenching and tempering methods, the cross-sectional shape of the blade and the finishing method by sharpening are completely different. In addition, the caulking design uses a traditional pattern called Kikuza that imitates a chrysanthemum flower.
*Shape

There are many products that imitate the shape, but this is one of the true Kyo styles. Manufacturer Kanetaka, who has a history of more than 350 years, belongs to the Kyoto Hamono Association and is working on the protection and tradition of this traditional scissors.
* Characteristics of these traditional Kyo style scissors
What surprises everyone is the looseness of fulcrum. However, this is the greatest feature of the Kyo style, which has a long history. When cutting, it is used by grasping it so that the gap between the blades does not open, but by that action, fulcrum changes its shape according to the habit of the person's hand. This is called "scissors grow". It will become a pair of scissors with your own habit.
* A normal product of this is one with wobbling in fulcrum. After purchase, please do not retighten by yourself.
*material
