KAKURI Japanese Pruning Shears for Gardening Heavy Duty 8 Inch, Made in JAPAN, Professional Garden Bypass Pruners with Leather Sheath, Hand Forged Japanese Carbon Steel, Black

I was looking forward to a high quality well made Japanese made product. What I got was a pair of shears that appeared only partially finished and cheaply made. These were not cheap in price. They needed additional grinding of the metal and the handles were merely painted. Buy a cheaper pair as these are not worth the extra money vs another brand.

Solid. They are clean, bare bones, all business and utilitarian. This is a top choice of pros like me. I have 40 years in the industry, so, I know a thing or two.

It really was good while it lasted. I went to use it today and the middle spring snapped. Pretty sure that was not supposed to happen. Warranty?

The bolt and blade rusted just from ocean air! This is not a product it is listed on the manufacturers website
