Tenju Forged Pruning Shears, Nishiki, 190mm, made in Japan.
• Known as the Tsugaru-gata model, said to have improved pruning efficiency for apple growers in the Tsugaru region.
• Well suited to cutting branches on apple and other fruit trees, as well as garden tree pruning.
• The blade back is thick while the edge is ground thin like a razor, giving good bite and release when cutting.
• Grip shape reduces fatigue during long periods of work.
• Repairing or resharpening with the wrong method can affect the original edge, so sharpen with care.
• For thick branches that are hard to cut, rotate the shears while cutting rather than forcing or twisting them; intended for fresh wood and fruit trees in general.
