SUIZANBypass Pruning Shears 8” - Professional Japanese Hand Pruners Garden Scissors Gardening Tools

I’ve been gardening for years, and I can confidently say that these SUIZAN pruning shears are among the best I’ve ever used. The precision and sharpness of the Japanese steel blades are truly remarkable. They cut through branches and stems with clean, effortless slices, minimizing damage to my plants. The ergonomic design of the handles makes them comfortable to use even during extended pruning sessions. I also appreciate the durability of these shears; they feel solid and well-constructed, like they’ll last for many seasons.The quality of the cuts these shears produce is particularly impressive. They leave clean, smooth surfaces that promote healthy healing in plants. Whether I’m trimming delicate flowers or thicker branches, these shears handle the task with ease. The compact 8-inch size is perfect for maneuvering in tight spaces, and the overall lightweight design reduces hand fatigue.

We run a natural fruit orchard, and I am out in the orchard every day, pruning, picking, etc. I had been using an older hand pruner, but it wasn't particularly high end, and it was not cutting crisply anymore. I went searching for a quality pruner, and looked at about a dozen, including domestic brands, many that are made in China, etc. I ran across this Suizan brand Japanese made bypass pruner. It had pretty good reviews, and was only about $30, so I tried it. Received it today, and i am VERY IMPRESSED with the comfort, quality of workmanship and materials, and the smoothness of operation. It felt like quality when I first picked it up. It has a 5/8" capacity, so it is not for large branches (on which we use a lopper or saw). It feels great in your hand, the handles are coated in something like a vinyl or rubberized material, and it has a nice steel closure (as opposed to most which have plastic or wire) on the end which is super easy to operate. I used it for a few hours today. The blade is super sharp. I will see how it holds its' edge, but so far, so good. You need to be careful with these. I actually nipped my finger a bit, but that was my fault. The spring on this pruner is heavy gauge steel. It operates flawlessly, and will be my daily companion in the orchard from now on. Japanese craftsmanship is legendary for a reason. You won't be disappointed in this purchase. If you are a casual user, you can get by with a cheaper pruner, but if you're serious or a professional, you can't afford NOT to spend the mere $30 to get this!

Excellent product. Very sharp and well built, it makes pruning easier. Clean cuts so less chance of damage to the plant. Feels good in your hand. The only negative from my perspective is the locking mechanism.

I can almost always count on Japanese garden tools to be well-designed and to have great blades. When I picked them up this morning to do some pruning I immediately noticed a difference from even my Felco pruners (sorry, Felco!). I have relatively small hands so these aren't too bulky yet have full-sized blades, and they cut through dead and live branches "like buttah". I haven't had to sharpen them yet.

Arrived well packaged. Excellent gripping for my smallish hand. Makes pruning bushes easy.

Excellent quality and sharp blade

These shears are great . They were extremely sharp out of the box and make clean cuts. I received them quickly.
