Kihachi Gate-Style Leaf-Trimming Hedge Shears Flat Inner Blades Edition Total Length & Blade 820mm/210mm / Polished Finish / Long Oak Handle 540mm with Aogami Blue Paper Steel Blade [Traditional Hand-Forged from Scratch / Flat Inner Blades / Polished]

Description

Crafted by Yoshioka Hamono under the esteemed Kihachi brand, the NO.109(A) features the classic Gate-Style profile combined with specialized Flat Inner Blades ("Ura-Beta"). Hand-forged using high-grade Yasugi Aogami (Blue Paper Steel) with a polished finish, these shears offer exceptional edge retention, sharpness, and enhanced structural durability for leaf trimming and topiary work.

Unlike standard models with a hollow ground back, the Flat Inner Blades design eliminates the deep concave groove to maximize blade strength and extend tool lifespan, while subtle blade curvature ensures smooth cutting without surface drag. Fitted with a 540mm Japanese Chinquapin (Shii wood) handle (total length 820mm), this lightweight long-handle construction delivers extended reach and excellent maneuverability for continuous overhead operation. Built to professional standards for arborists, master landscapers, and fine greenery management.
