Our House of Good Okubo Shears are our heirloom-quality utility shears, hand-forged in cast iron and inspired by the refined elegance of classic bonsai clippers.
Shaped with clam blades for seamless branch separation. Rust-resistant stainless steel screws ensure lasting blade alignment, while the oversized smooth iron handle enhances grip and balance for large hands or those working in gloves.
The Okubo is presented in our signature gift box, making it as striking to give as it is to own.
Hand-Forged Iron Okubo Shears
No two are identical, as subtle variations and markings reveal the hand of the maker. With time and use, the iron will take on a natural patina, a sign of its artistry and life well-lived.
Measuring 5" × 3", these shears are designed to cut branches up to 0.19". Substantial in weight yet balanced in hand, they offer both precision and presence.
• Keep blades clean and dry after each use and wipe with Camellia oil to prevent rust.
• Store in a dry, well-ventilated place to maintain sharpness.
• Clean handles with a damp cloth to remove debris.
• Avoid cutting hard materials such as wire or metal, and handle with care to prevent accidental drops.
• For lasting edge, use a sharpening stone or entrust them to a professional service.
