Description

Crafted by Yoshioka Hamono under the esteemed Kihachi brand, the NO.126 is a premium sharp-angle Japanese hedge shear engineered for exceptional cutting precision and long-lasting performance. Hand-forged from scratch using high-grade Yasugi Aogami (Blue Paper Steel), this shear provides razor-sharp cutting power combined with superior edge retention, keeping its edge sharp even through extended professional use.

The blades feature a traditional hollow ground back (Urasuki) to minimize friction and sap buildup, along with a subtle propeller-twisted blade design for smooth edge alignment and a crisp cut. Equipped with a 180mm sharp-profile blade and a 450mm (1.5 shaku) Japanese white oak handle, this shear delivers optimal leverage, comfortable balance, and extended reach. Built to rigorous Japanese craftsmanship standards, it is an essential tool for arborists, professional landscapers, and fine greenery management.
