Description

Crafted under the traditional Azumagawa brand, item NO.416 is a lightweight, slim-profile single-handed hedge shear specially designed for fine foliage control and delicate cutting tasks. Hand-forged from scratch by skilled craftsmen using premium Japanese high-carbon steel, it features a traditional hollow ground back (Urasuki) for an exceptionally smooth cutting engagement and crisp operation.

Featuring a 100mm blade (from bolt center to tip) on a compact 230mm overall frame, its slender build makes it ideal for pine needle trimming (Matsuba-kiri) and accessing tight spaces within dense foliage. Designed without a safety finger guard for quick, flexible hand positioning, it delivers maximum maneuverability and control for landscapers, arborists, and bonsai specialists.
