Tobisho Type B Pruning Shears Maintenance Bundle

Japanese pruning shears with the care kit to maintain them properly

This bundle pairs the Tobisho Type B pruning shears with the Japanese Garden Tool Maintenance Kit, now packed in a handmade wooden toolbox designed by East West Tools.

The Tobisho Type B is a strong, hand-forged Japanese pruning shear made for clean garden pruning, including roses, fruit trees, citrus, lavender, rosemary and general woody stems.

The maintenance kit gives you the essentials for keeping carbon steel pruning tools clean, smooth and protected. Use it to remove sap, wipe down blades, oil the pivot, protect against rust and touch up the edge when needed.

The wooden toolbox includes dedicated storage for the maintenance items and a pair of 200mm secateurs, so the shears and care kit can be kept together in one place.

Choose your preferred Tobisho Type B size and lock style from the options available.

What is included

• Tobisho Type B pruning shears
• Japanese Garden Tool Maintenance Kit
• Handmade wooden maintenance toolbox
• Blade cleaner
• Camellia oil
• Cleaning cloth
• Rust eraser
• Sharpening stone

Why bundle them together

Japanese carbon steel tools cut beautifully, but they should not be treated like disposable hardware-store secateurs. A simple clean, dry and oil routine after use helps prevent rust, reduces sap build-up and keeps the tool cutting smoothly for longer.

This bundle is for anyone buying a proper pair of Japanese pruning shears and wanting the right care kit from day one.

Best for

• Roses and climbing roses
• Fruit trees and citrus
• Lavender, rosemary and woody herbs
• General pruning
• Gardeners who want to maintain their tools properly

Maintenance tip

After pruning, wipe sap and dirt from the blades, dry the tool properly, then apply a small amount of camellia oil to the blade and pivot. Store the shears dry inside the toolbox when not in use.

Japanese carbon steel pruning tools should be kept clean, dry and lightly oiled.

After pruning, wipe sap and dirt from the blades, then dry the tool properly. Apply a small amount of camellia oil to the blade and pivot before storing. Use the blade cleaner when sap builds up, and use the rust eraser only when needed.

Touch up the cutting edge lightly with the sharpening stone when the tool starts to feel harder to cut with. Regular light maintenance is better than waiting until the tool is rusty or blunt.

Store the secateurs and maintenance items dry inside the wooden toolbox when not in use.
