Description

Crafted by Yoshioka Hamono under the esteemed Kihachi brand, the NO.127 (Mid-Length Handle Model) is a balanced sharp-angle Japanese hedge shear engineered for high-efficiency cutting and exceptional edge retention. Hand-forged from scratch using high-grade Yasugi Aogami (Blue Paper Steel), this shear combines razor-sharp cutting precision with long-lasting durability, keeping its refined edge through extended professional use.

The blades feature a traditional hollow ground back (Urasuki) to minimize friction and sap buildup, along with a subtle propeller-twisted blade design for smooth edge alignment and a clean cut. Paired with a 360mm (1.2 shaku) Japanese white oak handle and weighing 820g, this shear offers superb weight distribution that reduces fatigue during repetitive trimming while maintaining great leverage and reach. Built to rigorous Japanese craftsmanship standards, it is an essential tool for arborists, professional landscapers, and fine greenery management.
