Onoyoshi Hamono One Hand Hedge Shears with Guard Leather Case

Sale price$89.00

Onoyoshi Hamono produces this leather case specifically for the One Hand Hedge Shears with Guard, sized and shaped to fit the 270mm guarded shear exactly. The case is black full-grain leather, double-stitched at the seam and studded at the perimeter. A snap button at the front secures the shear in place during movement and releases cleanly for single-hand retrieval. The belt mount is fitted with a hinged bracket that allows the case to pivot with the body rather than sit rigid against the hip — a practical consideration for ladder work and sustained outdoor use. The bracket detaches from the belt via snap button, so the case can be removed and reattached without threading. Right-hand orientation. Made to accompany a tool built for daily professional use.

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.
