Precision hand-forged secateurs for clean cuts
The Hon Norimitsu 200 mm Type B secateurs are hand-forged in Japan by Hounen Kihan. Made for serious gardeners, these pruning shears deliver sharp, clean cuts in woody stems and fine branches. Each pair is shipped from Perth with local support and careful packing.
Crafted from high carbon steel, the blades are forged as a single piece with the handles for strength and durability. The Type B design has a rounded blade profile, offering a precise bypass cut that suits horticultural pruning. Each joint is hand set with a rivet, tuned for smooth action. The natural lacquer finish protects the steel while leaving the forged texture visible, a hallmark of Miki-region craftsmanship. At 200 mm overall length, they balance control and leverage for all-day use in the garden.

To keep performance consistent, clean after each use and oil lightly with camellia oil from our garden tool maintenance range. Pair with Tobisho Japanese Pruning Tools for a complementary set of professional-grade secateurs. Wipe dry before storage to protect the edge from rust and extend tool life.
Tip: Use the rounded bypass profile for live stems and fine pruning cuts, avoiding deadwood where a saw is more effective.
