Toyama Hamono R5N Leather Pruning Shears Pouch

A genuine leather pouch for your shears that hangs from a belt, a fence or your shoulder, and darkens beautifully with use.

Toyama Hamono’s R5N pouch keeps your shears at hand and their edge protected. Hang it on your waist belt, from a fence, or wear it as a shoulder pouch with the included string. The genuine leather changes color and develops a rich patina with use.

Why we carry it

We’ve been curating design-led pieces since 2009, and we look for tools that earn a place in the house as well as the garden. Toyama Hamono was founded in 1861 in Sanjo, Niigata, a city with a long tradition of metalworking, and still forges its shears by the traditional tanzo method. Its work has been recognized with the Good Design Award and as Sustainable Garden Product of the Show at the 2023 Melbourne International Flower & Garden Show.

Buy once: durability and care

Keep it dry and store it indoors with your tools. Wipe the leather with a dry cloth if it gets muddy and let it air-dry away from heat.
