Description

A proper left-handed secateur

The Tobisho SR-1 Left-Handed is built for gardeners who prune with their left hand. Its blade arrangement is intended for left-handed cutting rather than asking the user to adapt to a conventional right-handed tool.

An everyday pruning companion

The 200mm format suits routine work on roses, fruit trees and ornamental shrubs. Its forged carbon-steel blades offer the responsive feel expected from Tobisho’s specialist pruning range. Use a larger tool for branches that require force or twisting.

Made in Yamagata

Tobisho’s pruning tools are produced in Yamagata, Japan, with attention to blade fit, cutting geometry and long-term serviceability.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. This is the left-handed SR-1 model, intended for pruning with the left hand. It is not simply a standard right-handed SR-1 used in reverse.

The key difference is the hand-specific cutting arrangement. Both are intended as versatile everyday pruning shears, but the left-handed version is designed for left-handed use.

They suit routine cuts on live stems, including roses, fruit trees and ornamental shrubs. For thick, hard or dead branches, use a tool sized for the task rather than forcing the blades.

Wipe off sap after use, dry the tool thoroughly and apply a light coat of camellia oil. Keep the pivot clean and sharpen the cutting bevel without grinding the flat mating face.
