Description
Our “Kihachi” Garden Shears are robust and versatile. Their 240-300mm blades feature a unique indentation design. The surface of bottom blade is curved inwardly and the hollow ground blade serves to collect sap, gum and debris. This allows the blades to stay clean resulting in a more efficient cut. This, combining with the top quality “Yasugi Hagane” Japanese steel, is one of the reasons these shears stay sharper longer than others. These shears have a hardened steel blade allowing them to cut into tougher stems than the Kenshin Shears.

Kihachi Garden Shears now come with a slick black Japanese leather sheath. It is Shokunin Store original, specially designed to compliment the world’s best Kihachi Garden Shears. We have listened to our customers, many of whom are garden professionals, that asked us if we have a leather sheath for the shears. You want your shears to look good, keep yourselves safe and take care of your tools and we certainly understand that. It is not just any leather, but it is top quality Japanese “Tochigi” Leather.

These Kihachi Garden Shears are made of high quality “blue grade” Yasugi Hagane Japanese steel developed by Hitachi Steel.

Yoshioka’s products are supported by many garden professionals around the world today. Their legendary 240mm curved shears are particularly in high demand amongst topiary artists, and they are custom made for Shokunin Store.

Steve J. –
These Kihachi shears are *very* comfortable to use and are as sharp as a razor! The service is faultless. I am happy to mention quality tools and service whenever I encounter them…
Susan Collins –
I have bought a number of the precision garden implements on-line from the Shokunin Store.
The secateurs and hedge shears are fantastic. They are a pleasure to use. Well weighted in the hand. Sharp.
The shears have a wonderful slicing sound as they clean up our wayward hedges.
These products are more expensive than the comparable items at the large hardware stores , however that extra cost is well and truly justified given their superior quality.
I have also bought some sharpening stones and camellia oil to keep the cutting edges smooth and clean.
I also tried a package of nori sheets which was a real surprise.
It was a different experience to the sheets I have previously bought at the supermarket. An excellent base for sushi.
Finally, the customer service was excellent in my two on-line transactions. Orders were processed promptly with, follow up enquiries as to our satisfaction.
I expect many of my friends will benefit from my future purchase of gifts for them from the Shokunin Store.
