Kihachi Garden Shears with Hollow Ground Blades

(1 customer review)

$296.50 – $414.00

Our “Kihachi” Shears are robust and versatile. Their 270mm blades feature a unique indentation design. The hollow ground blades serve to collect sap, gum and debris. This allows the blade to stay clean resulting in a more efficient cut and the blade staying sharper longer.  These shears have a hardened steel blade allowing them to cut into tougher stems than the Kenshin shears.

These shears are made of high quality Hitachi Japanese steel and come from one of the most renowned cities for hand crafted steel products in the world – Miki in western Japan –  they have been testing and polishing their skills and knowledge for centuries.

Description

Our “Kihachi” Garden Shears are robust and versatile. Their 240-270mm 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 “Yasuki 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.

These Kihachi Garden Shears are made of high quality “blue grade” Yasuki Hagane Japanese steel developed by Hitachi Steel.  The shears come from one of the most renowned cities for hand crafted steel products in the world – Miki in western Japan.  The artisan manufacturer “Yoshioka Edged-Tool Works” has been testing and polishing their skills and knowledge since 1946.

  1. 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…
