Type A secateurs feature blades that are slightly thinner than the KUDO Type B secateurs. The shoulder of the handle design enables users to maintain a secure grip, allowing them to maximise their leverage. With a cutting capacity of 18mm, these secateurs are highly proficient.
The Kudo family has been running KUDO Shears for 80 years, inheriting regional blacksmithing techniques that have been around for 660 years in Yamagata Prefecture. Kudo-san Snr has crafted highly durable secateurs for 55 years, garnering multiple awards in the process. His secateurs are loved by garden professionals, orchard workers, and flower growers. Today his son is working with him to carry on the workshop in the future.
If your secateurs are left wet, or exposed to water then rust may develop. We advise that you wipe down your secateurs and spray with a lubricant such as WD40 or INOX at the end of each day’s use and store in a pouch.

Shogun Tools was founded in 2017 in Brisbane by Maki from Tokyo with support from her husband, Alex, a horticulturist and garden maintenance business owner. Maki's family had a passion for gardening, and she and Alex searched for high quality tools. Maki sourced info from professionals and Alex tested them for Australian use. Japanese blacksmiths (kaji) have long been revered for their precision blades and metalwork, but their industry has declined due to mass imports and a disposable culture. Shogun Tools support small businesses and artisans who create quality, long-lasting tools, preserving skills and traditions within Japan and beyond.
