Crafted using High-Speed Steel (HSS), an exceptional tool steel typically reserved for high-end industrial drills due to its extreme hardness, superior toughness, and remarkable impact resistance, this shear represents the pinnacle of modern edge longevity.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe HSS steel is bonded to the soft iron base using traditional copper brazing, a high-level master technique visible by the distinctive orange line along the blade. Featuring a 235mm total length and a 95mm (3.5 Sun) blade profile, it delivers extended reach and smooth cutting efficiency, making it especially well-suited for intricate pine tree pruning. Built with a traditional hollow ground design (Urasuki) and a durable rivet joint, this shear offers unmatched sharpness that lasts exponentially longer than standard carbon steels.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eModel: Sakai Hand-Forged HSS Model\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eTotal Length: 235mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eBlade Length: 95mm (from rivet center to blade tip)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eSteel: HSS (High-Speed Steel \/ Copper-Brazed)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eBlade Finish: Hollow Ground\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eProcess: Traditional Hand-Forged from Scratch\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eConstruction: Rivet Joint\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eOrigin: Sakai, Osaka, Japan\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Minamoto no Akitada","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52803565977912,"sku":"83383-661","price":770.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1010\/6778\/4504\/files\/IMG-2106.jpg?v=1786782999","url":"https:\/\/niwakokoro.com\/products\/minamoto-akitada-japanese-gardener-scissors-total-length-blade-235mm-95mm-sakai-hand-forged-high-speed-steel-hss-urasuki-rivet-joint-no-661","provider":"Niwa Kokoro","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
