Nishigaki Professional Leaf Shears with Guard

A pair of traditional Japanese leaf shears with hand guard, made of high carbon stainless steel, giving a great edge with easy maintenance. Made in the historical hardware manufacturing centre of Miki City, Japan, by family-owned company Nishigaki. Lightweight, ergonomically shaped, textured non slip aluminium handles combine with a stainless steel spring and a robust bolt and nut, finished with Nishigaki's iconic crab logo.  Around 27cm overall length, with a hand guard to prevent any slipping and assist with grip when using over longer periods. A recessed void on the inside of the blades prevents leaf residue becoming stuck between the blades. Weighs 250g. After use, clean the blades and store dry.
