Karikomi 195mm Shears (Double And Curved Edge) – Yamagata Type

The Karikomi Shears have a slight curve to the blade. They are well suited to cloud pruning and box hedge clipping.

Do not rely on the handles to do the cutting – they are wood and can snap with too much lever pressure. The handle length is designed for reach, not leverage.

The choice between Kanto and Yamagata type shears comes down to preference. Some people find the Kanto type less fatiguing due to the cross-over blades, while others prefer the more traditional Yamagata type.
