Know before you buy
The 2-inch straight blade is designed for the delicate, precise work required for Satsuki Azaleas. Its slim profile allows you to reach deep into dense foliage to prune buds and blossoms without damaging surrounding shoots.
Yes, the shears feature an ambidextrous design, making them comfortable and effective for both left-handed and right-handed users.
No, these shears do not have a spring mechanism. This manual design provides the user with complete control over the cutting pressure, which is often preferred for delicate, high-precision bonsai maintenance.
Because they are made from high carbon steel, it is important to keep the blades clean and dry after every use. We recommend wiping them down with a light coat of camellia oil or a similar tool oil to prevent oxidation and maintain a smooth cutting action.
These shears are intended for fine trimming of buds, blossoms, and tender shoots. They are not designed for cutting thick or woody branches, which could damage the precision alignment of the blades.
