Traditional Type-B secateurs for everyday pruning Tobisho Type-B pruning shears use the traditional rounded Type-B pattern for general live-wood pruning. A hollow-ground cutting blade and twisted receiving blade support a clean, controlled cut on roses, citrus, fruit trees and everyday garden growth. Why choose Type-B Choose from 180mm or 200mm to suit your hand and preferred reach. The 180mm model is available with a metal lock or leather strap. Choose this model for the familiar Type-B pattern and the broadest choice of size and lock in the Tobisho range. For prolonged working sessions, compare the Tobisho SR-1. For a fully forged Type-A pattern, compare the Classic Type-A. Choosing 180mm or 200mm 200mm: more reach and leverage for general pruning. 180mm: a compact option for smaller hands, tight growth and close work. 180mm with leather lock: the compact size with a quiet, glove-friendly leather strap. Care and limits These carbon-steel secateurs need basic care. Wipe away sap and moisture, dry the blades and apply a light coat of camellia oil before storage. Do not twist through a cut or force branches beyond secateur capacity; move to loppers when needed. For oil, sap cleaner and sharpening supplies, browse Japanese tool care and sharpening.
