Tobisho’s Topiary Clippers (or hakaribasami which translates to leaf-cutting scissors) are crafted in Yamagata, a region renowned for its very high-quality steel. If you appreciate quality these are for you. As a small family-run business, Tobisho maintains traditional forging techniques, using drop-forging (bashing with a very heavy pneumatic hammer out of high quality steel) to create durable and well-balanced tools with attention to detail. Designed specifically for soft green growth (do not use on old hard growth), these clippers feature long, sharp blades and a spring action for easy, smooth and efficient clipping.
