The characteristics Yasugi Steel tools are extra strong, wear-resistant and long-lasting sharp tools.
【General Purpose, Beginner friendly, Recommended for Women】
Made of carbon steel blades, the scissors are ideal for general purpose (pruning and trimming, shoot and leaf cutting) and for beginners. 6" (150mm) size, smaller model than other yasugi scissors, works great with shohin bonsai trees.

Looped handle, very close to the blade, that fits comfortably in your hand, allowing for a better control. With a beautiful golden engraving of our brand name in traditional Japanese kanji characters.
【Clean Cut, Sharp Edge】
With a short rounded but pointed edge, it severs flower fibers cleanly resulting in better water absorption. The length of the blade makes it ideal for detailed work, but not suitable for thick branches
