Kireru-Yorokobi 200mm Pruning Shears SLD

Kireru-Yorokobi 200mm overall length pruning shears with mirror polished SLD blade. Super easy mechanism and precise mechanics on these, the mirror polishing makes the blade very easy to clean and slows down the corrosion on this nearly stainless but not quite stainless steel.

SLD has great cutting feel, good sharpen-ability, and excellent edge life, it both holds an edge well and cuts well as it dulls. SLD ranges from 12-13% chromium content, right on the stainless / non-stainless boundary. It has excellent toughness and can be ground very thin without becoming excessively chippy.
