Onoyoshi Hamono Bud Cutting Shears Leather Case Black

Sale price$79.00

Onoyoshi Hamono produces this leather case for the bud cutting shear range, sized to fit the 7, 8, and 9 inch models. The case is shaped to the tapered profile of a bud shear blade, holding the tip securely rather than leaving it to move inside a generic pouch. The body is full-grain cowhide — material that stiffens and conforms with use, developing its own character over time. The belt mount is designed to pivot, so the case moves with the body when crouching or climbing rather than pulling against it. The belt loop doubles as a storage cover when the shear is not in use. A D-ring is fitted for attaching a drop cord, and a strap attachment point is included, consistent across the Onoyoshi range. Accommodates belts up to 55mm wide. Shears not included.

Front view of the Onoyoshi Hamono black full-grain leather bud cutting shears case, showing a tapered profile with stud detailing, snap button closure, D-ring attachment on the left side, and a wide belt loop at the top embossed with the Onoyoshi mark.

ONOYOSHI HAMONO

Onoyoshi Hamono was founded in 1936 in Ono City, Hyogo Prefecture, when the grandfather of the current generation established the studio as a kitchen knife forge. When his son took over in 1964, the focus shifted to gardening and pruning shears, aligning the forge with Ono's growing identity as a centre for horticultural blades and opening the studio to an international audience of fruit growers and gardeners. The studio is now led by the Tanaka brothers, the third generation, who have maintained the core production philosophy without revision: every blade is fire-forged and hand-finished through more than 100 sequential steps, from the initial cutting and forging of the steel through grinding, quenching, and final finishing. No two blades are identical. The variation between each one is not a flaw but a consequence of the method, the trace of a hand working hot steel rather than a machine repeating a fixed motion. Over more than 80 years, the studio has held to the position that the people using the tools matter as much as the tools themselves, incorporating feedback from working gardeners into each generation of design. The result is a body of work recognized by orchardists and horticulturalists across Japan and internationally.
