 Description

Crafted under the traditional Azumagawa brand, item NO.183 is a long-reach, professional-grade single-handed hedge shear meticulously hand-forged from scratch using premium Japanese Yasugi high-carbon steel. Designed with an extended 320mm frame and an impressive 173mm blade, this model offers maximum leverage and reach for efficient leaf trimming (Hagari) and foliage shaping, making it ideal for working on ladders or accessing hard-to-reach areas.

This shear features a sophisticated Twist Blade geometry, where a subtle rotational twist on the blade optimizes the cutting angle for clean, effortless shearing action with minimal resistance. Combined with a traditional Hollow Ground Back (Urasuki) for smooth blade engagement and secured with a Screw Joint structure, it delivers exceptional control and extended coverage without a guard.
