Hasamiya Ichiban Traditional Japanese Gardener-Style Topiary Shears (Niwa-Ki Shears) - 80mm Blade [Yasuki Ki-Gami Yellow Paper Steel / Hollow-Ground Blades / Polished Finish / Traditional Riveted Joint]

Description

Handcrafted in Japan by Hasamiya Ichiban, the Traditional Japanese Gardener-Style Topiary Shears (Niwa-Ki Shears) are engineered specifically for professional gardeners, nurserymen, and landscape artisans who demand precise control and a clean bite when shaping leaves, soft stems, and fine branches.

Forged from premium Yasuki Ki-Gami (Yellow Paper Steel), these shears offer exceptional bite into plant tissues, retaining a razor-sharp edge through demanding everyday trimming. The blades are hand-finished with a polished polish (Migaki finish), delivering an extremely smooth, refined shearing action and smooth friction between the cutting edges.

Featuring classic Urasuki (hollow-ground inner blade surface) geometry, the contact between the inner blades is minimized. This unique structural feature reduces sap and resin buildup, prevents pinching, and ensures clean, effortless cuts that promote rapid plant healing. The hand-fitted riveted joint (Kashime-shiki) ensures long-lasting structural alignment and smooth balance, making these 3-inch (80mm) blade shears an indispensable tool for fine topiary and traditional Japanese garden maintenance.
