Sharpness that flowers love. "Fire Forged" gardening shears since the Edo period.｜Toyama Hamono
Dull scissors crush plant vessels and shorten their lifespan.
The trace passed by Toyama Hamono's scissors is surprisingly smooth without breaking cells.
It is proof of "kindness" that minimizes damage to plants.
Gentle blade for plants
Founded in 1861 in Sanjo, Echigo. "Toyama Hamono" boasting a history of over 160 years, is a specialized manufacturer of gardening shears that conveys the traditional technique of "Hizukuri Tanzo (Fire Forging)" to the present. The tough blade created by heating steel to red hot and forging it by hitting realizes surprisingly sharp sharpness. Because it cuts swiftly without crushing plant fibers, it prevents rot from the cut end and improves water uptake. Based on the belief that "Scissors are not just tools, but things that handle plant life", the masterpiece "Hidehisa" is loved by rosarians and bonsai artists all over the world.
Why "Toyama Hamono" is Chosen | 3 Reasons
Traditional Technique "Fire Forging"
Instead of punching out with a press machine, they insist on "Hizukuri (Fire Forging)" where craftsmen heat steel in a furnace and shape it by hitting it with a hammer. The metal structure becomes dense, creating a cutlery that combines tenacity and hardness, which is hard to break and bend.
Scientific "Sharpness"
In order to achieve both "biting of the blade" and "smooth release", unique polishing is applied to curve the back of the blade. This reduces frictional resistance and has the effect of being able to cut with light force, as well as making it difficult for tar and dirt to stick.
"Design" of Functional Beauty
The design, which has been improved to fit modern hands while inheriting the shape of the Edo period, has won numerous awards such as the Good Design Award. Not only the beauty of appearance but also the "ease of grip" based on ergonomics is evaluated.
Editor's Note
When I started gardening, my hands hurt quickly with cheap scissors from home centers, so I took the plunge and bought "Hidehisa" pruning shears. As a result, the world has changed. Even thick branches can be cut "crisply" with light force, so I don't get tired even after working for a long time. What is most impressive is the "sound" and "feeling" when cutting. The shock transmitted to the hand is small, and the work that proceeds crisply is even pleasant. I have been using it for over 10 years while maintaining it with a maintenance kit, but the sharpness is getting better rather than declining.
