Kuroco Pointed Tip Pruning Scissors Single-Edged

Kuroco Pointed Tip Pruning Scissors Single-Edged is a new addition to the extensive line-up of professional garden shears produced by Takashi Yoshioka of Yoshioka Hamono, a leading Japanese blade manufacturer. Takashi Yoshioka, whose company has made some of the world’s finest blades since 1946, leads a team of master blacksmiths. We are proud to announce that we are among the first in the world to offer these pruning scissors outside Japan.

Uniquely single-edged versatile Scissors

Kuroco Pointed Tip Pruning Scissors have a single-edged blade, meaning only one side is sharpened. They are designed to be used with the receiving blade facing down. These blades are versatile, efficiently handling both thicker branches and softer growth, making them an all-purpose tool.
The slim body fits nicely in the palm of your hand, allowing precise control with your fingers when needed. Ideal for general pruning, deadheading, or bud trimming.

These are the industry’s first single-bladed scissors made in the style of double-edged ones. They offer the feel of double-edged scissors with the versatility and function of a single-edged model.

produced for professionals by a renowned Master Craftsman

Like other fans of Yoshioka tools, we have followed the development of these pruning scissors from the earliest stages since Yoshioka announced the new product. We’ve seen Takashi Yoshioka’s pursuit of perfection in every detail—from design and craftsmanship to business excellence. After many prototypes and much trial and error, Yoshioka finally handed us our first pair. Kuroco Pointed Tip Pruning Scissors did not disappoint. Made of premium Japanese high-carbon steel, these ultra-sharp scissors are built for professionals who demand long-lasting performance and the highest quality.

The legendary bladesmith “Master” Takashi Yoshioka is his own toughest critic. What we love about these scissors is both the design and balance. Yoshioka values blade sharpness as much as perfect weight balance between head and handle, ensuring maximum comfort for the user.

underpinned by 1,200 years of history

Yoshioka Hamono is located in the city of Ono, in the heart of a region renowned for its steel forges and expertise in metalwork. With a history dating back 1,200 years, Ono has long been known for its blacksmithing, rivalling the northern Japanese city of Sanjo (Tsubame) in Niigata. Since 1946, Yoshioka Hamono have been producing a wide range of garden shears and tailors’ scissors.  Takashi Yoshioka’s hedge and topiary shears have earned many enthusiastic fans around the world.  His legendary, unique curved topiary shears (custom-made) are uncontested and many users wait for months to get their hands on a pair. If you want something a little more robust than these Kuroco pruning scissors, try Black Masamune Pruning Shears. They will complement your pointed tip scissors perfectly.  And if you haven’t already tried Yoshioka’s legendary long blade garden shears, do try them – you won’t regret it.
