## Important notes

Both pages identify the No. 217 / 60-type short model and match its 175mm blade, approximately 535mm / 21-inch overall length, and approximately 800g / 2lb weight. These are very sharp hedge shears: use the blade cover, keep them away from children, store them closed and dry, and oil the carbon-steel blades after use. Askul shows limited stock and a destination-specific delivery estimate; verify delivery at checkout. Tax and delivery differ by destination.

Japan tax-free eligibility, actual local sales tax, daily FX, shipping, card fees, warranty, and import charges can change the final cost.
