About B-type

The biggest feature of the B-type is that the cutting edge, fulcrum, and midpoint of the handle are all in a nearly straight line, making it easy to perform the intended action. In addition, the entire body is forged, providing high rigidity and straightforward response. There are professional gardeners in Japan who love B-type and say, "I can prune with just Type B and a saw". The 180mm model in particular has many passionate fans. Branches that cannot be cut with these pruning shears are cut with a saw. It is said that the boundary between the two is very easy to understand. While the SR and A-type are very popular (the SR is Tobisho's original model, while the A-type has variants made from blue paper steel and Damascus paturn), these pruning shears have hidden potential.

The material is high-class cutting steel. From quenching to prevent decarburization due to the lead bath, they pursued the contradictory performance of hardness and stickiness to achieve excellent sharpness.

About Tobisho, the blacksmith who manufactured this product (YAMAGATA pref)

Tobisho is a long-established blacksmith in Yamagata, with 4 generations of pruning shears and 10 generations of blade smith since 1803. Yamagata Prefecture has been one of Japan's leading fruit producing regions since 1875. Syojiro Tobitsuka, the first pruning shears smith who founded Tobisho, started producing shears for use in orchards and sericulture around this time. Through ingenuity and effort, the performance has continued to improve from generation to generation, and as a result, it has come to be used by professional gardeners due to its sharpness.
