Hidehisa Ikenobo-Style Traditional Bonsai-Ikebana (Floral Shears) Pruning Shears T-8 Total Length & Blade: 165mm/53mm [Ikenobo Style / Precision Ground Blade / Lightweight Ergonomic Handles / Master Cutlery]

Description

Crafted in Sanjo, Niigata Prefecture by Toyama Hamono under the renowned Hidehisa brand, the Ikenobo-Style T-8 Shears (165mm overall length, 53mm blade) deliver smooth cutting precision, lightweight maneuverability, and classic Japanese design. Specifically tailored for traditional Ikenobo Ikebana flower arranging and highly capable for fine bonsai maintenance, this ultra-lightweight (138g) tool is an ideal, high-value choice for both enthusiasts and floral artists.

Featuring a precision-ground high-carbon steel construction, the T-8 model provides a clean, razor-sharp bite that slices through flower stems, soft shoots, and woody foliage without crushing plant tissue. This sharp, precise cut helps keep plant water channels (xylem) open, ensuring cut flowers retain hydration longer and promoting fast healing during bonsai pruning.

Equipped with traditional Japanese loop handles, the T-8 offers excellent control, smooth leverage, and minimal hand fatigue during extended arranging sessions. Incorporating classic hollow-ground blade logic (Urasuki) and precision mechanical alignment, the blades glide effortlessly while helping clear natural plant sap and moisture.
