200mm Type B Japanese pruning shears for stronger garden cuts Hon Norimitsu 200mm Type B pruning shears are traditional Japanese secateurs for roses, citrus, fruit trees and general woody garden pruning. The 200mm size gives more reach and leverage than compact 150mm pruners, while the Type B blade shape gives a supported, confident cut. These suit gardeners who want a practical full-size Japanese pruner without stepping into the higher-priced Tobisho range. Stock is limited, so compare available options in the Japanese secateurs collection if this model sells out. Hon Norimitsu 200mm vs Tobisho Type-B Choose Hon Norimitsu 200mm if you want a practical full-size Type B secateur at a simpler price point. Choose Tobisho Type-B if you want more size choices, premium finishing and stronger long-term stock support. Choose Hon Norimitsu 150mm if you have smaller hands or need a compact detail pruner. Who should not buy this Do not buy 200mm if larger secateurs feel tiring in your hand; choose 150mm or a compact Tobisho model instead. Do not use these for branches beyond secateur capacity; use loppers or a pruning saw. Do not buy carbon steel secateurs if you want to store them wet or dirty. Carbon steel care expectations Clean sap after use, dry thoroughly and oil the blade and pivot before storage. Touch up the bevel before the tool feels dull and avoid twisting through cuts.
