Kohana means "little flower," but there is nothing delicate about how this shear is made. It is handmade from Japanese stainless steel with blades that are triple-honed to a convex edge at 60–61 HRC — a hardness and grind combination that delivers smooth, flawless cutting and keeps delivering it between sharpenings.
The handle is the headline
The Kohana carries an extra-long offset crane handle, one of the most protective handle designs in shear-making. The dropped, extended grip lets you keep your elbow down and wrist neutral through blunt work, wet cutting, and dry cutting alike — the design exists specifically to prevent the fatigue and discomfort that accumulate over a career.
Fit and finish
Adjustable ring sizing tailors the finger fit to your hand. The pink titanium coating is applied at 1.5 microns over two-piece welded construction — enough thickness to genuinely protect the steel, thin enough to keep the blade geometry true.
Who it suits
Professional stylists who want ergonomics-first design without giving up a signature look at the station. Backed by a lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects.
