If you’re searching for handcrafted Japanese secateurs, the Onoyoshi Type A stands out as one of the finest examples of traditional Japanese blade‑making. Made in Ono City, a region celebrated for centuries of steel craftsmanship, these 200 mm secateurs combine hand‑forged precision, ergonomic comfort, and exceptional cutting performance.
Designed for professional gardeners, landscapers, orchardists, and serious home gardeners, each pair is individually crafted to deliver smooth, accurate cuts with minimal effort.
“Being 100% hand‑forged, each secateur blade has its own unique character… the end result of over 100 processes ranging from cutting and forging to sharpening, quenching, fine‑finishing and packaging.”
Every blade is shaped, hardened, and sharpened by skilled artisans. This traditional forging process produces a cutting edge that is exceptionally sharp, strong, and long‑lasting.
A slightly thinner cutting blade allows for smooth, clean cuts that promote plant health. The subtly bent blade neck reduces wrist strain, making pruning more comfortable during long sessions.
The handle shape fits naturally in the hand, with a wider shoulder to prevent slipping while cutting. Ideal for repetitive pruning tasks.
Fire‑hardened carbon steel provides outstanding strength and edge retention. Each blade is hand‑sharpened for maximum performance.
Suitable for a wide range of pruning tasks—ornamentals, flowers, bonsai, orchard work, and general garden maintenance. Cutting capacity is approximately 15–20 mm, depending on hand strength and material.
The video below demonstrates how to sharpen, clean, and lubricate traditional Japanese secateurs.
In the demonstration, a very fine sharpening stone is used. A fine diamond sharpener is an excellent alternative for regular maintenance and touch‑ups.
