Description 

Crafted under the traditional Azumagawa brand, item NO.417 is a professional-grade, lightweight, and slim-profile single-handed hedge shear meticulously hand-forged from scratch using premium Japanese Yasugi high-carbon steel. Featuring an exceptionally sharp blade finish, this tool is ideal for fine foliage trimming, pine needle trimming (Matsuba-kiri), and working in tight spaces or high on ladders.

This model features a sophisticated Twist Blade geometry, where a subtle rotational twist on the blade optimizes the cutting angle for cleaner, effortless shearing with reduced resistance. Combined with a traditional Hollow Ground Back (Urasuki) for smooth blade engagement and secured with a Screw Joint, it delivers superior control and flexibility without a guard.
