Tobisho Snips & Bud Shears, Mekiri 180mm, Japanese High Carbon Steel

These Bud Cutting Shears are the perfect tool for pruning pines and bonsai, as well as for the harvest of fruits and vegetables and general gardening tasks.

They are especially suited for delicate work, like thinning out dense leaves and pinching buds.
It's important to note that the double-edged bud cutters, due to their sharp design, are not suitable for pruning branches, including smaller twigs.
