Onoyoshi Hamono Pruning Shears Leather Case Black

Sale price$79.00

Onoyoshi Hamono produces this leather case for the pruning shear range, sized to fit the 7, 8, and 9 inch models. Where the bud shear case tapers to follow a narrow blade profile, this case is built wider and deeper to accommodate the fuller body of a pruning shear. The construction is full-grain cowhide throughout — material that holds its structure under daily working conditions and develops its own character with use. The belt mount pivots, keeping the case from pulling against the body when crouching or on a ladder. The belt loop folds over the top as a cover when the shear is stored off the belt. A D-ring is fitted for 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 pruning shears case, showing a wide rounded 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.
