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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFor dense and woody stems\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHigh-grade carbon steel with fluorine treatment\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePatented ribbed handle structure\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy you'll love it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnvil cutting action for maximum power through dense and woody stems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-grade carbon cutlery tool steel — 3.2mm blade thickness, 15% thicker than standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePremium fluorine coating prevents resin and sap buildup on the blade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePatented ribbed handle structure for strength without added weight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUltralight at 600g for extended use without hand or wrist fatigue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFully replaceable blade — the tool lasts indefinitely with proper care\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eUses in the garden\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCutting dense and woody stems beyond the reach of secateurs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePruning established natives with hard or fibrous stems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemoving old growth from banksias, wattles and callistemons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGeneral lopping and pruning in Australian gardens\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel: LP-650\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOverall length: 610mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade length: 53mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade thickness: 3.2mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 600g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade material: high-grade carbon cutlery tool steel with fluorine coating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade: fully replaceable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlace of origin: Made in Japan by Chikamasa\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWipe blade clean after use to maintain the fluorine coating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApply a light coat of oil to the blade if storing for extended periods\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReplace the blade when sharpness diminishes rather than replacing the whole tool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/minimalistgardener.com.au\/collections\/japanese-gardening-tools\" title=\"Japanese Gardening Tool Collection\"\u003eShop all our Japanese garden tools.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout Chikamasa\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeginning as a manufacturer of scissors for Japanese ikebana flower arranging, the company has grown over more than a century into one of Japan's most respected cutting tool makers.
