ChikaMasa TS5 Scissors

Sharper cuts and less hand fatigue on long trim days

The ChikaMasa TS5 is a spring-loaded trimming scissor from ChikaMasa, whose Sakai, Japan workshop has been forging shears for over a century. Built around a hardened stainless steel blade and a balanced, ergonomic handle, it is made for growers putting in hours of close, repetitive manicuring rather than the occasional snip. A torsion-spring action reopens the blades for you, so your hand does far less work over a full harvest.

Key Benefits

• Japanese stainless steel blades hold a sharp, clean edge through extended use
• Torsion-spring action reduces hand and wrist fatigue during long sessions
• Non-slip ergonomic handle keeps grip secure even when hands turn sticky
• Slim precision tips reach into tight buds for detailed manicuring
• Compact 50mm cutting edge ideal for close, controlled trimming

Blunt blades crushing stems and leaving ragged cuts?

Cheap scissors dull quickly and start tearing stems rather than slicing, leaving ragged wounds that heal slowly and invite infection. A precise, well-maintained blade like the TS5 keeps every cut clean, which matters most at harvest when you are working through a lot of material in one sitting.

How to Use

• Use for close manicuring, trimming fan leaves and cutting fine stems
• Wipe blades with rubbing alcohol or resin remover during use to stop sap dulling the edge
• Oil the pivot occasionally to keep the spring action smooth
