Yoshioka Shirogami Hedge Shears

These Japanese carbon-steel pruning shears are a must-have for the green-thumbed for those who aspire to be! Shirogami carbon steel allows them to get crazy sharp and keep a wicked edge, just like a Japanese kitchen knife. They’re rated for cutting green wood up to 12mm thick, with the tips better for delicate work and the base of the blade best for heavy-duty jobs.

• Blade Length: 180mm
• Handle Length: 450mm
