Chikamasa LP-650 Japanese Anvil Pruning Lopper

Japanese anvil lopper

The Chikamasa LP-650 Professional Pruning Lopper is a precision-engineered Japanese tool. High-grade carbon cutlery steel, a fluorine-treated blade and a patented ribbed handle structure combine to produce a lopper that is powerful, lightweight and built to last.

For dense and woody stems

The anvil cutting action drives a single sharpened blade down against a flat counter surface, concentrating force on a single point for maximum cutting power through dense, woody stems. For Australian gardeners working with hard-stemmed natives, this lopper delivers the power needed to cut cleanly.

High-grade carbon steel with fluorine treatment

The 53mm blade is forged from high-grade carbon cutlery tool steel at 3.2mm thickness — 15% thicker than standard lopper blades — for exceptional strength and resistance. A premium fluorine coating on the blade surface prevents resin and sap from building up during use. The blade is fully replaceable, extending the working life of the tool indefinitely.

Patented ribbed handle structure

The handles feature a patented rib structure that increases rigidity and strength without adding weight — a design innovation that allows Chikamasa to keep the lopper at just 600g. The result is a tool that stays comfortable without the hand and wrist fatigue that heavier loppers cause.
