Masamune scissors gate-type leaf cutting series.

For ultimate lightness. Ultra-lightweight gate type, white paper, 210mm.

We strive to make all materials as light as possible. These are Masamune Yasugi steel leaf shears with a polished finish.
Our unique forging technology and blade finishing have resulted in a product that combines sharpness and durability. The backside finish, made with skilled craftsmanship, prevents sap and tar from adhering, allowing for smooth opening and closing and a long-lasting sharpness. The handle is made of cedar wood for a lightweight look. The gate-shaped blade is part of Masamune Scissors' standard leaf-cutting series. The sharp blade allows the blade to handle even the smallest twigs (about 5 mm). The polished blade has been carefully scraped to create a shiny finish.

Usage: Used for leveling the ground of leaves with hardened new shoots. Leaf shears are specialized scissors suitable for cutting soft fresh leaves such as pine, azalea, and Japanese laurel . Professional landscapers are more strict in their use.
*Leaf shears are designed to cut leaves. Using the blade to cut small branches can cause the blade to chip.

Ultra-lightweight leaf shears allow for more delicate work, but they also require delicate use. The cedar handles in particular are fragile, so please handle them with care. Yoshioka Blades' leaf shears are renowned for their delicacy. Leaf shears are an extremely delicate job, and if you make a mistake in the area you cut by just a few millimeters, the whole structure will be thrown off. These scissors support the craftsmanship of such artisans, allowing you to work as if they were an extension of your hand. The amazing thing about Masamune Scissors is the excellent fit between the blades. The blades only come into contact with the part being cut, and there are gaps in other areas. The excellent back-skid finish makes it difficult for the blades to become clogged with sap, wood resin, etc.
