Description 

The Hasami Masamune NO.203 is a high-performance Japanese gardening shear crafted by Yoshioka Hamono—a respected cutlery manufacturer in Ono City, Hyogo Prefecture. Machine-forged and meticulously hand-finished by skilled craftsmen, this shear features a long blade ideal for general tree pruning, precise shaping, and efficient garden maintenance.

Forged from premium Yasugi Aogami (Blue Paper Steel), the 87mm blades offer exceptional edge retention, sharpness, and smooth cutting performance. Featuring a traditional hollow ground blade design (Urasuki) that reduces friction and allows sap to escape, along with a robust rivet joint built for long-term durability, this tool provides professional arborists and gardeners with reliable cutting precision.
