Chikamasa TP-530S Ultra-Light Pruning & Garden Shears – Japanese Stainless Steel
The Chikamasa TP530S is an exceptionally lightweight pair of Japanese pruning and horticultural shears designed to reduce hand fatigue during repetitive cutting.
At approximately 55 g, the TP530S is around 50% lighter than Chikamasa's referenced conventional design while providing a longer 42 mm stainless steel blade.
The blade, spring and rivet incorporate stainless steel components for improved resistance to water and corrosion, while the elastomer grip and soft cushioning help make repetitive pruning more comfortable.
