Why Choose Chikamasa Scissors?
When it comes to trimming and pruning, having the right scissors makes all the difference.
Chikamasa scissors are world-renowned for their Japanese craftsmanship, razor-sharp blades, and ergonomic design.
At GHEDirect, we’re proud to stock a range of Chikamasa scissors that help growers achieve clean, precise cuts with ease.
Here’s why you’ll want to make them part of your toolkit:
Exceptional Craftsmanship
Chikamasa scissors are made with precision in Japan, a country known for its world-class steel and blade making. Each pair is engineered for sharpness, durability, and balance.
Sharp, Durable Blades
The high-quality steel used in Chikamasa scissors stays sharper for longer, meaning less frequent sharpening and smoother cutting sessions. Many models include coatings to resist sap build-up and keep blades cleaner for longer.
Designed for Comfort
With spring-loaded handles, ergonomic grips, and blade designs that reduce strain, Chikamasa scissors let you work for hours without hand fatigue.
Built for Growers
These scissors are trusted by professionals because they’re efficient, easy to clean, and reliable harvest after harvest.
We carry four different types of Chikamasa scissors here at GHEDirect, each suited to different trimming needs.
Chikamasa T-552 Scissors – The All-Round Workhorse
The Chikamasa T-552 is a trusted favourite among growers. These spring-loaded trimming scissors feature sharp carbon steel blades that deliver clean cuts every time. A built-in blade cut-out helps prevent clogging, making long trimming sessions smoother and less fatiguing.
Best for: General trimming and defoliation during harvests.
