{"product_id":"nokogari-serrated-hedge-shears-long","title":"Nokogari Serrated Hedge Shears, Long","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Nokokari Serrated Hedge Shears (No. 402) are hand-forged in Ono City, Japan by Yoshioka Hamono and designed for high-precision pruning. Featuring one straight blade and one serrated blade, they \"bite\" into branches, preventing the wood from sliding toward the tips. This ensures clean, controlled cuts on both soft greenery and tougher growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEquipped with Japanese White Oak handles, the No. 402 provides superior leverage for effortless cutting and a greater reach for tall hedges and wide shrubs. While the serrated edge offers a surgical grip, the longer handle design makes them the ideal choice for shaping larger topiary and O-karikomi (shrub trimming) above shoulder height or in hard-to-reach areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCrafted from SK-5 high-carbon steel, they will comfortably cut green wood up to 15mm thick.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade length: 180mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandle length: 400mm (White Oak)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTotal length: 650mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 850g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCutting capacity: up to 15mm (green wood)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eClean blades after use with a \u003ca title=\"Copper Tool Brush\" href=\"https:\/\/backyardbotanist.com.au\/products\/copper-tool-brush\"\u003estiff brush\u003c\/a\u003e and a mild detergent (or sap remover) to clear debris from the serrations.
