Sasuke Sakai Honaga (Long Blade) Traditional Japanese Gardener Scissors Total Length & Blade (215mm/82mm) Shirogami White Paper Steel [Traditional Hand-Forged from Scratch / Urasuki Hollow Ground / Hineri Precision Blade Twist / Rivet Joint]

Description

Handcrafted in Sakai, Japan, by Sasuke—a world-renowned, historic workshop founded in 1867 during the late Edo period—these Honaga (long blade) 2.7-sun Traditional Japanese Gardener Scissors represent the peak of master blacksmithing. Forged from premium Yasugi Shirogami (White Paper Steel), these shears feature Sasuke's signature propeller-twisted blade architecture (Hineri). Rather than flat surfaces, the hand-shaped curves ensure the blades continuously slide against each other at an ever-moving single point of contact, preventing binding and delivering a buttery cut that maintains its edge over decades of use.

The elongated "Honaga" blade profile provides deeper reach and enhanced cutting capacity for intricate pruning. Every pair undergoes meticulous manual alignment and razor-sharp hand-finishing to achieve zero-tolerance crossing precision. The custom blade twist, visible when viewing the tips head-on, creates constant edge engagement and unparalleled penetration into wood and foliage. Built for professional arborists, master gardeners, and collectors, this rare heirloom-grade tool offers an unmatched cutting experience.
