Hana Fubuki Mini Matsuba Type 3 Bonsai-Ikebana (Floral Shears) Pine Needle Pruning Shears Total Length & Blade: 130mm/43mm / 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 130mm in overall length with a 43mm blade, this Type 3 model is forged from premium Yasugi Aogami (Blue Paper) steel. Engineered for micro-precision bonsai work—such as pine needle thinning (Midoritsumi)—and delicate Ikebana arrangements, its palm-held structure provides maximum dexterity and control.

Premium Yasugi Aogami Steel: Forged from high-grade Blue Paper steel for extraordinary wear resistance and long-lasting edge sharpness needed for repeated, clean cuts through sticky pine shoots and fibrous floral stems.

Compact Palm-Held Ergonomics: Designed to rest naturally inside the palm, allowing you to switch between cutting and hand-plucking foliage or arranging stems without constantly setting the shears down.

Dual-Purpose Versatility (Bonsai & Ikebana): Features a short 43mm razor-sharp blade paired with an extended neck, giving you precise access to dense pine needles, buds, and intricate flower arrangements.

Precision Hollow-Ground Blades (Urasuki): Engineered with a traditional concave back finish to minimize sap, resin, and plant fluid friction, keeping the cutting motion smooth and fluid.

Master-Tuned Blade Alignment (Hineri): Finely twisted and calibrated so the edges meet at a precise, single contact point from base to tip for crisp cuts that prevent damaging delicate plant tissue.
