Hand-forged in Yamagata Prefecture, Japan the Karikomi Shears feature slight curved blades crafted for shaping the organic contours of cloud-pruned topiary and undulating hedges. Perfectly suited for box balls and large-scale yew trimming, the Yasuki Aogami steel blades achieve an exceptionally sharp edge, ensuring clean cuts and a polished finish. However, they are best used for finer tasks—avoid tackling heavy, woody branches.
The medium-length oak handles offer a well-balanced design, combining strength and precision. They provide just the right amount of clout when needed, without sacrificing lightness or control.
Please note: the wooden handles are designed for extended reach, not for heavy leverage. Avoid applying excessive pressure on the handles, as they may snap under strain. Always rely on the blades for cutting.
