Kihachi Traditional Japanese Hedge Shears Sharp-Angle Model (NO.130) Blade 300mm / Short Nata Handle 270mm Aogami Blue Paper Steel [Traditional Hand-Forged from Scratch / Hollow Ground / Twisted Blade]

Description

Crafted by Yoshioka Hamono under the esteemed Kihachi brand, the NO.130 (Nata Handle Model) represents the absolute pinnacle of the sharp-angle Japanese hedge shear series, engineered for maximum stroke coverage, heavy-duty durability, and exceptional edge retention. Hand-forged from scratch using high-grade Yasugi Aogami (Blue Paper Steel), this ultimate top-tier shear combines razor-sharp cutting precision with long-lasting sharpness for extended professional use.

The extended 300mm blades feature an enlarged traditional hollow ground back (Urasuki) that maintains structural blade strength while effectively minimizing friction and sap buildup. Designed with a subtle propeller-twisted blade geometry for smooth edge alignment and paired with a heavy-duty 270mm compact Nata oak handle (total length 635mm), it provides massive surface coverage per stroke with outstanding maneuverability—making it ideal for safe operation on stepladders and trimming in tight spaces. Built to rigorous Japanese craftsmanship standards, it is an essential tool for arborists, professional landscapers, and fine greenery management.
