Hasami Masamune Traditional Japanese Hedge Shears Sharp-Angle Model (NO.128) Blade 240mm / Mid-Length Oak Handle 360mm Shirogami White Paper Steel [Traditional Hand-Forged from Scratch / Hollow Ground / Twisted Blade / Yoshioka Hamono]

Description

Crafted by Yoshioka Hamono, the Hasami Masamune NO.128 (Mid-Length Handle Model) is a long-blade sharp-angle Japanese hedge shear engineered for maximum cutting coverage, precision control, and smooth penetration into foliage. Hand-forged from scratch using high-grade Yasugi Shirogami (White Paper Steel), this shear offers a razor-sharp edge, exceptional bite into plant material, and unmatched ease of resharpening in the field.

The blades feature a traditional hollow ground back (Urasuki) to reduce friction and sap buildup, combined with a subtle propeller-twisted blade design for smooth edge alignment and a crisp bite. Paired with an extended 240mm blade and a 360mm (1.2 shaku) Japanese white oak handle with a balanced weight of 840g, this shear delivers wider surface coverage per cut while maintaining an comfortable weight distribution that reduces fatigue. Built to professional standards, it is an essential tool for landscapers, arborists, and traditional Japanese garden specialists.
