Frequently Asked Questions

Are these shears suitable for large hedges?

Carbon steel blades hold a sharper edge and are easier to resharpen than stainless, but they require care to prevent rust.

Where are these shears made?

They are hand-forged in Sanjo, Niigata, Japan by Toyama Hamono.

How should I maintain them?

Wipe clean after use, sharpen with a whetstone, and apply light camellia oil to prevent corrosion.
