Detailed information

Product detailed description

Japanese Scissors Koryu by Tsurumaki Hamono

Crafted by blacksmiths in Sanjo, Niigata Prefecture, these Japanese Koryu-style shears are designed for the precise cutting and arranging of Ikebana flowers. They feature a traditional Japanese design with loop-shaped handles that not only provide comfort during use but also offer ample space for operating with gardening gloves. The shears are crafted from premium Aogami carbon steel, renowned for its exceptional edge retention even with frequent use. The blades feature an extremely sharp angle that cleanly slices through standard stems without crushing their delicate plant fibers. This allows the flowers to absorb water better and stay fresh longer. Thanks to the short, rounded blade, these versatile shears are ideal not only for Ikebana but also for bonsai work or harvesting delicate vegetables, such as eggplants and cucumbers. The traditional, slip-resistant Kurouchi finish, which increases corrosion resistance and improves grip, is complemented by a stainless steel screw. This screw prevents any unwanted blade misalignment while allowing for easy adjustments and a perfectly smooth operation. This allows you to precisely fine-tune the shears according to the thickness of smaller stems or thinner twigs; however, the tool remains intended for detailed work and is not built for cutting thick, fully woody branches.

Material

Aogami Blue #2 is a traditional Japanese carbon steel alloyed with tungsten and chromium. It excels in exceptional edge retention, yet remains relatively easy to sharpen despite its high hardness. Perfect sharpness also depends on the precise alignment of the cutting edges and blade backs. Therefore, the shears are fitted with a stainless steel screw that prevents any unwanted blade misalignment while allowing for easy adjustments and a smooth operation.

Maintenance

Ikenobo shears are made of carbon steel, so regular blade care is essential. Always clean and dry the shears thoroughly after each use. Periodically coat them with camellia oil or another tool oil, allow it to soak in, and then wipe off any excess. These shears are designed specifically for live, green, and fresh stems or twigs. Do not use them on dry, hard branches found on the ground or old, dead wood; such material acts more like stone and can easily damage or chip the hard carbon steel.

Someone carries a flower, another forgets. A bit of anticipation that may not be fulfilled, and a bit of relief that nothing significant actually happened.
