'Kihachi' 240mm Shears (Double and Straight Edge)

'Kihachi' 240mm 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.

{Information}Care Instructions

The blades are made of carbon steel. Carbon steel blades must be treated to avoid rusting. Japanese traditionally use Camellia (Tsubaki) Oil to treat carbon steel tools. Other suitable oils may also be used. Ensure the blade is clean and dry before applying Camellia Oil. Simply wipe the blade with a clean cloth impregnated with Camellia Oil. Re-apply after each use. These shears are designed to cut green raw branches and stems. Do not cut wire, metal, stone, plastic or any other hard material. Dropping the tool onto a hard surface may cause the blade to break. Do not twist or apply uneven pressure. Cutting should occur along the section of the edge(s) closest to the handle. Cutting at the point or tip runs the risk of snapping the blade.
