## Title Hidehisa Garden Pruners

## Subtitle Hand-forged carbon-steel pruners from Tsubame-Sanjo, Japan. Tatara steel tradition. Sized for branches up to 15mm.

## Description Tsubame-Sanjo is the Japanese metalworking region — a small valley in Niigata Prefecture — where blacksmiths have been hand-forging cutlery, tools, and tableware for over a thousand years. The Tatara steel manufacturing method, in which iron sand is smelted in a clay tatara furnace, predates modern blast-furnace steel by centuries and produces a finer crystalline structure than industrial-cast steel can match.

Hidehisa is one of the master forges still operating in Tsubame-Sanjo. The BB200Y pruners are made in the traditional way: high-carbon cutlery steel, hand-forged blade, ergonomic ergonomic handle, sized for the branches between half a centimeter and one and a half. They will hold an edge through a season of pruning. Sharpening once a year keeps them ready for the next.

A garden tool that outlasts its owner.

Every purchase funds one sauna session for one cancer patient. The pruner is a slow object. The funded session is a brief one. Continuity in two scales.
