Tobisho-gata secateurs with a natural wrist angle Tobisho-gata pruning shears are a 195mm Japanese model with asymmetrical handles and a subtly tilted blade. This geometry places the hand and cutting line at a more natural angle during general live-wood pruning. Why choose Tobisho-gata Choose this model when wrist angle and handle geometry are the main priorities. The 195mm size sits between Tobisho's compact Hirei and full 200mm models. For a conventional 200mm all-rounder, compare SR-1. For more size and lock choices, compare Type-B. Care and limits After pruning, wipe sap and moisture from the carbon-steel blades, dry thoroughly and oil the blade and pivot. Avoid twisting through cuts and use loppers when a branch is beyond secateur capacity. Browse Japanese tool care and sharpening for oil, sap cleaner and sharpening supplies.
