Igarashi Hamono Gate-Style Leaf-Trimming Hedge Shears Blade 210mm / Lightweight Long Chinquapin Handle 530mm Shirogami White Paper Steel [Traditional Hand-Forged / Ultra-Lightweight 760g / Urasuki Hollow Ground / Smooth Action Alignment]

Description

Crafted by Igarashi Hamono, this model features a classic Gate-Style profile combined with an adjustable screw joint system, specifically engineered for precise leaf trimming and fine topiary work. Hand-forged from premium Yasugi Shirogami (White Paper Steel), these shears deliver exceptional edge sharpness and clean, smooth slicing performance through foliage.

The 210mm blades incorporate a traditional hollow ground back (Urasuki) to reduce friction and sap adhesion, paired with superior blade action alignment for seamless operation. Fitted with a 530mm lightweight Japanese Chinquapin (Shii wood) handle (total length 810mm) and weighing just 760g, this model is specifically tailored for users seeking maximum agility and minimal arm fatigue during continuous overhead trimming. Built to professional standards for arborists, master landscapers, and fine greenery management. (Note: Chinquapin wood provides outstanding lightness but is more prone to breakage than heavy oak—avoid applying excessive leverage or cutting hard branches).
