Engineered for multi-purpose versatility, this single tool excels across three essential uses: detailed bonsai shaping, fine pine needle and bud pinching (\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMegiri\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e), and precise Ikebana flower arranging.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis model is forged from Yasuki Aogami (Blue Paper Steel)—Japan’s premier high-carbon cutlery steel alloyed with chromium and tungsten.

This creates an ultra-smooth blade stroke with exact point-to-point contact along the entire 60mm blade length, while allowing sticky plant resin, sap, and floral fluid to escape freely.
