These Black Thinning Shears have a sleek look and a spring action mechanism reduces hand strain. They are often used to prune pine trees because their durable thin blades precisely snip through wood with with minimal effort. Designed with a copper safety lock that can open and close by brushing it against your hip, allowing quick performance and the ability to hold a bouquet in one hand without having to let it go to lock the shears rather than using two hands. Includes leather sheath and scissor oil. 9 3/4" (l) x 3" (w) x 1"(d) Care instructions with a video demonstration can be found here. For four generations, Tajika Haruo has been manufacturing handcrafted scissors and shears in their atelier located in Ono, Japan. Each piece is forged, tempered, shaped and sharpened by a father and son team, using traditional methods of ironworks reminiscent of past Japanese courts. Every specific pair is created to serve a particular purpose in the most functional manner and has been perfected through a dedication to the craft.
