Japanese Secateurs – KUDO Type F:
The KUDO Type F Secateurs have a European design rather than the traditional Japanese shape. The head is angled downward and is in-line with the neck. Seasoned European secateurs users may find this design more fitting for their hand. These secateurs are strong enough to confidently cut branches up to 18mm in diameter.
Each set of secateurs comes with a spare spring and is presented in a gift box. Perfect as a gift for a keen gardener.
KUDO Shears are a Yamagata, Japan-based blacksmith workshop where handmade carbon steel secateurs have been manufactured for 80 years. Kudo-san Snr has dedicated 55 years of his life to making exceptionally tough secateurs and has received numerous accolades for his creations. His tools are renowned amongst garden professionals, orchard workers, and flower growers. His son is now aiding him, preparing to take over the workshop someday.

About Shogun Tools:
Shogun Tools was founded in 2017 in Brisbane by Maki from Tokyo with support from her husband, Alex, a horticulturist and garden maintenance business owner. Maki’s family had a passion for gardening, and she and Alex searched for high quality tools. Maki sourced info from professionals and Alex tested them for Australian use. Japanese blacksmiths (kaji) have long been revered for their precision blades and metalwork, but their industry has declined due to mass imports and a disposable culture. Shogun Tools support small businesses and artisans who create quality, long-lasting tools, preserving skills and traditions within Japan and beyond.
