Azumagawa Lightweight Slim Single-Handed Hedge Shears With Guard Total Length & Blade: 230mm / 100mm Yasugi High-Carbon Steel [Traditional Hand-Forged from Scratch / Hollow Ground Back / Screw Joint / Twist Blade / Smooth Engagement]

Description

Crafted under the traditional Azumagawa brand, item NO.55 is a professional-grade, lightweight and slim-profile single-handed hedge shear meticulously hand-forged from scratch using premium Japanese Yasugi high-carbon steel. Specially engineered for fine foliage control and delicate cutting tasks, it is ideal for pine needle trimming (Matsuba-kiri) and accessing tight spaces within dense foliage. This model features a sophisticated Twist Blade geometry, where a subtle rotational twist on the blade optimizes the cutting angle, resulting in a cleaner, more efficient shearing action and reduced resistance. This is further enhanced by a traditional Hollow Ground Back (Urasuki), ensuring an exceptionally smooth, effortless blade engagement. Equipped with an integrated safety finger guard and a secure Screw Joint, it delivers maximum maneuverability, control, and user comfort.
