Tool Identification

Post by MJL »

Hi,
Here's one from left field. I cleaned and sharpened my tools today. The are all Kaneshin - expect a few. Some cheap tiny leaf trimmers and the red handled secateurs. There's one that I am not sure of -- the branch cutters - pictured top left.

Sometime around my late teens, I had a brief interest in Bonsai - how I wish I had kept at it. Anyway - I remember going halves in these branch cutters with my mum - I think at a show in Mt Waverley, VIC.

Does anyone know what brand they may be please? There's a close up of the logo below. No big deal, just interested.

Perhaps Masukuni? The kanji on the left hand side just say "heavy weight". I'm not up on my bonsai tool maker kanji enough to be sure, but the rubbed kanji on at the top of the right handle look Masukuni-ish.
