Niwaki Tobisho Shears. I just wanted to share with you all, an exciting new purchase for the gardens. These beautiful hand crafted shears, really are an absolute pleasure to use. https://www.niwaki.com/store/tobisho-shears/
i truly don't think any other hand tool makes a more satisfying sound. Crafted tools in craftsman hands. People forget how therapeutic our jobs can be when you slow down and enjoy the work in question.
Some pleasures are better to be avoided; I was pruning today my Prunus laurocerasus by hand; using Lรถwe secateurs for the side and Fiskars garden shears for the top. From 7 in the morning till 5 oโclock in the afternoon. This video of yours has almost knocked me out.
Hi I recently bought these, unfortunately I had to pay for mine but I've lusted after them for years( most normal people would think you were mad to pay ยฃ500 for shears when Wilkos sell shears for ยฃ3 a pair). I've got the okatasune & all the other tobisho secateurs & clippers but these shears are not only beautiful but work fantastic. If you are serious about cloud pruning & you can afford them get them.

Gotta agree with the other comments – the sound of those shears is just awesome! They look like a pleasure to use and there's a real beauty in a really nicely hand-crafted item ๐
Investment in quality tools is and investment in a quality finish. I love the final shot of you using the vac to clean the hedge, PURE GENIUS!! Is it a shop vac youโre using.
Very Nice indeed but don`t be afraid to try Fiskars ยฃ20 if you cant justify the ยฃ500 , they give you the same relaxing feeling albeit you will need to sharpen them a bit more frequently and iif you have several estates with Buxus you can allocate several pairs ๐ .
Great demonstration. Thanks! A question about the shears: How good a fit is the central pivot rivet, I.e is there any play between the blades when open? I ask this because I have Niwaki topiary (straight shears), which is a nut and bolt fixing, and thereโs a lot of play at that point. I can literally wobble the blades when fully open , and adjusting the bolt has no effect. Niwaki say this is normal for Topiary shears, which Iโm not convinced about. Iโm assuming the Tobishoโs central rivet canโt be adjusted. Your thoughts appreciated.
I absolutely love mine, great for buxus topiary but I also use them for lavender. What is amazing about the tobisho shears is how light and precise they are.
I love trimming buxus, a steady relaxed even pace, one of the most relaxing jobs, almost for me as enjoyable as pruning roses.

Sent my wife a link to these a few days back as a hint for my birthday present lol
I'm getting tired watching you
Wow, now they are shears ๐, cutting by hand is definitely a pleasure and very relaxing

What garden are you the patron of? looks lovely!
Fair do's they look & sound awesome, shame I haven't got a spare ยฃ500 or I'd be straight onto their website
Get some cks forยฃ60
very niche mate they even sound special. I do all my box & euonymus balls at home with hand shears for the perfect finish.do you have their secateurs.
Nice shears may have to invest in some of those. Nice job ๐
Should definitely have titled this 'Sexy shears ASMR' to be down with the kids ๐
Awesome โ๏ธ๐๐๐ผ

I honestly prefer manual hand tools to power tools, great work and great video!
What about sharpening. I would deffinatly ruin these lol
Are the better than the Okatsune shears?
Fabulous ๐๐๐ would you consider doing topiary demos eg how to start shaping from scratch etc๐
I'd be wanting to keep the sharp end well away from my balls
Just one problem. The curvature of the blade makes it difficult to sharpen it.
Jaw dropping perfect sphere around the 7:30 mark.

You should do a video on how to sharpen those.
