‘Kihachi’ 270mm Shears (Double And Straight Edge)

Yoshioka Hamono’s “Kihachi” Shears are robust and versatile. Their blades feature a unique hollow indentation, often described as “self-cleaning”, which collects sap, gum and debris. This allows the blades to stay clean resulting in a more efficient cut.

The ‘self-cleaning’ aspect of the shears combined with the Yasugi Hagane Japanese steel, mean these shears stay sharper longer.

These shears are suitable for cutting green foliage. For pruning woody plants, please see our collection of secateurs and pruning saws.

TIDBIT: The Yoshioka family has been producing high quality tools since 1946, when the founder Mr Kihachi Yoshioka was a manufacturer of dressmaking scissors. Today the third generation company is operated by Takashi Yoshioka and specialises in crafting hedge shears and garden scissors.
