A Japanese Ōkubo pruner, with a bold black finish.
Pickup currently not available
Product description
The action
Cleanly prune flowers, thin branches, or aromatic herbs.
Why it is different
Forged in steel by the Ōkubo workshop, with a black finish that gives it a more assertive and understated look than polished raw steel.
Why this version rather than the standard model
Its more pronounced presence immediately gives it the character of a professional tool, while retaining the same tempering and sharpening techniques inherited from sword smiths. Note: the precise dimensions of this version compared to the Ōkubo Ring model are not distinctly confirmed in our current data.
Why I chose it
“I chose this version because it has a more assertive quality. Its size and very understated appearance immediately give it the character of a professional tool. It is this contrast that I liked: an object designed above all for work, but whose proportions and finish give it almost a graphic dimension. It represents well this idea that a tool can be functional without being mundane.”
You will love it if
- you are looking for pruners with a more assertive, almost graphic appearance
- you regularly prune flowers, thin branches, or aromatic herbs
- you appreciate a tool that remains functional above all, without unnecessary aesthetic concessions
It is probably not for you if
- you are looking for a confirmed size difference compared to our other Ōkubo model
- you prefer a raw steel finish rather than black
In practice
Forged steel, black finish, length around 18 cm (to be confirmed precisely). Wipe clean after each use, store in a dry place, sharpen regularly.
An object built to last
Forged iron and regular maintenance allow these pruners to withstand decades of use.
