Whether you call them bud shears, pine snips, or mekiribasami, these are truly the finest of their kind. Crafted from exceptionally high-quality hand-forged steel, they feature a smooth spring action and a sturdy catch at the base. The distinctive red and yellow Tobisho handles add a pop of colour - remove the vinyl grips for a more traditional look, or keep them for a fun modern twist.

Founded in 1930 by Shojiro Tobisho, Tobisho Seisakusho specialised in pruning shears and gardening scissors. Today, the company represents four generations of scissor-making expertise and continues to produce its tools in Yamagata, Japan.

Combining traditional forging techniques with generations of accumulated knowledge and modern testing methods, Tobisho tools are celebrated for their exceptional sharpness, durability, and cutting performance.
