Hana Fubuki Mini Matsuba Bonsai-Ikebana (Floral Shears) Pine Needle Pruning Shears Total Length & Blade: 120mm/48mm / Yasuki Blue Paper Steel [Compact Palm-Held Design / Hand Forged / Hollow Ground Blade / Twisted Blade / Rivet Joint]

Description

A specialized, compact hand-forged Japanese pruning shear (Matsuba Megiri) crafted under the distinguished Hana Fubuki brand. Measuring just 120mm in overall length, this ultra-compact shear is forged from premium Yasugi Aogami (Blue Paper) steel. Engineered for both intricate bonsai maintenance—such as pine needle thinning—and delicate Ikebana flower arranging, its unique palm-held design offers extraordinary control and seamless efficiency.

Premium Yasugi Aogami Steel: Forged from high-grade Blue Paper steel for extraordinary wear resistance, superior edge durability, and long-lasting sharpness required for repetitive, precise cuts through sap-rich pine shoots and fibrous floral stems.

Compact Palm-Held Ergonomics: Designed to sit naturally inside the palm during work, allowing you to alternate seamlessly between cutting and delicate hand-plucking or stem adjusting without constantly setting the tool down.

Dual-Purpose Versatility (Bonsai & Ikebana): Featuring a short, razor-sharp 48mm blade paired with an extended frame, it excels at micro-precision work—whether thinning dense pine needles (Midoritsumi) in bonsai or making exact, delicate cuts on intricate flower stems in Ikebana arrangements.

Precision Hollow-Ground Blades (Urasuki): Engineered with a traditional concave back finish to minimize sap, resin, and plant fluid friction, ensuring smooth, effortless blade movement during extended sessions.

Master-Tuned Blade Alignment (Hineri): Finely tuned so the cutting edges engage cleanly from base to tip, delivering surgical accuracy that avoids crushing delicate plant tissues and supports healthy recovery.
