Chikamasa T-552 Pruning Scissors

Ready to level up your propagation game? Meet the Chikamasa T-552 Trimming Scissors.

Hand-crafted in Osaka, Japan, these aren't just scissors, they are an essential tool for keeping your collection pristine. whether you are manicuring a delicate Fern or taking cuttings from your prized Philodendron.

Why We Love Them

  • Japanese Carbon Steel: The blades are razor-sharp and designed to stay that way. This ensures a surgical, clean cut every time, which is vital for preventing rot and helping your plants heal quickly after pruning.

  • Built for Comfort: The high-quality torsion spring is built to last (no more springs popping off mid-prune!) and reduces hand fatigue, making them perfect for those long Sundays spent tending to your jungle.

  • Precision Control: The fine tip allows you to get right into tight nodes and dense foliage without damaging surrounding stems.

Best Uses

Use the T-552s for defoliation, removing spent leaves to increase airflow, and shaping growth to encourage your plants to push out lush, new foliage. They are the ultimate tool for precision propagation cuts where accuracy is key.

Pro-Tip: Know Your Limits Because these blades are made from high-carbon steel for maximum sharpness, they are designed for delicate, precise work. Do not use them on thick, woody stems, as the blades may snap. Save these for petioles, leaves, and soft tissue, and grab your secateurs for the heavy lifting!
