This Bonsai Shear is known as an Azalea or Satsuki style Scissor - Satsuki is Japanese for Azalea. It's an all purpose Bonsai tool shear that is great for very precision trimming jobs, and not just for Azaleas. More petite than the Traditional and Long Handle shears, they're perfect for fine tuning type pruning jobs. Don't let the 7 1/4 size fool you, they can handle larger jobs too.
This is a very high quality Japanese (not Chinese) made tool. Forged from solid steel, with a highly refined blade. An excellent Bonsai tool at a great price.
