Description

Crafted by Yoshioka Hamono under the esteemed Kihachi brand, the NO.130 (Mid-Length Handle Model) represents the absolute pinnacle of the sharp-angle Japanese hedge shear series, engineered for maximum stroke coverage, effortless leverage, and exceptional edge retention. Hand-forged from scratch using high-grade Yasugi Aogami (Blue Paper Steel), this top-tier shear combines razor-sharp cutting precision with long-lasting durability through extended professional use.

The extended 300mm 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 clean cuts. Paired with a 360mm Japanese white oak handle with a total length of 730mm and a balanced weight of 920g, it delivers maximum surface coverage per stroke while maintaining superb weight distribution that reduces fatigue during heavy trimming. Built to rigorous Japanese craftsmanship standards, it is an essential tool for arborists, professional landscapers, and fine greenery management.
