Japanese Bonsai Scissors Wazakura Carbon Steel

Description

Product Overview

The Wazakura Japanese bonsai scissors are crafted in Sanjo, Niigata, a region renowned for centuries of metalworking excellence. Each pair features a 52 mm straight carbon steel blade (S58C) that is hand‑forged for optimal hardness and edge retention. The blade’s rounded point and 10 mm cutting width allow clean severing of fine branches without crushing the plant tissue. An alloy steel butterfly handle, looped close to the blade, offers ambidextrous use and reduces hand fatigue during extended sessions.

Usage

These scissors excel in a variety of gardening tasks: pruning bonsai trees, shaping ikebana stems, trimming small shrubs, and even delicate indoor plant maintenance. Their lightweight design (5.5 oz) makes them ideal for indoor workshops, outdoor garden beds, and travel kits for hobbyists who need precision on the go.
