CHIKAMASA PRUNING SHEARS T-552

Description

The Chikamasa T-552 is a curved-blade pruning shear from Chikamasa’s professional horticultural range, manufactured in Japan to the high-precision, long-wearing standard that has made Chikamasa the tool of choice for serious growers and commercial horticulturalists worldwide. The curved blade profile distinguishes the T-552 from the straight-bladed B-600H, making it better suited to stem-cutting and pruning tasks where the curve of the blade guides cleanly around circular stems and branches rather than pushing against them.

The T-552’s curved blade creates a slicing rather than a pressing cut against stems, which is mechanically superior for clean stem cuts during training, topping, lollipopping, and general pruning. A clean, sliced stem cut causes less cellular damage at the wound edge and heals more quickly than the crushed cut produced by lower-quality tools. For growers working with high-value genetics where stem health and recovery time matter, the quality of the cutting edge and blade geometry has a meaningful impact on plant performance after pruning.

Manufactured from high-carbon Japanese steel with a precision-ground edge that delivers exceptional sharpness and retains it through extended use with proper care. The ergonomic handle is designed for comfortable extended use, and the pivot screw is adjustable to suit individual hand tension preferences. Clean blades with isopropyl alcohol between plants to prevent cross-contamination of any pathogens. Available at The Horticulture Company alongside the Chikamasa B-600H and other professional grow room hand tools.
