About Yoshioka Edged-Tool Works

The company was founded in 1946 amidst the chaos of the postwar period, initially as a maker of 8-inch Japanese Rashakiri tailoring shears. Two years later, Kihachi Yoshioka, the company's founder, expanded the product line to include various types of Rashakiri cloth shears. In 1973, he began producing planting shears and root-cutting shears.
Yoshioka’s products are specifically tailored for professionals, emphasizing the importance of a sharp cutting edge and balanced feel when held. A key feature of their approach is their collaboration with customers, developing tools based on user feedback and experiences.
Going forward, they intend to continue embracing their origins as Japanese blacksmiths, producing products in line with their company motto: “Good products speak for themselves.”
