Japanese Ashinaga Bonsai or Garden Scissors

Japanese Ashinaga Bonsai or Garden Scissors
£29.00
Ex Tax: £24.17

A pair of sturdy carbon steel garden scissors, great for cutting flowers, dead-heading and light pruning, as well as snipping twine whilst in the garden. Sharp, precise blades make for satisfying, clean cuts on softer green stems, whilst the blades are strong enough to cut through woodier stems and roots up to 5mm thick. The gardening scissors have smaller handle loops, allowing for easier use without gardening gloves on. Measuring 210mm, with 60mm blades, these are made in Japan from Aogami Blue Carbon Steel, which will need to be kept dry, wiped after use and oiled regularly. Weight 154g. After use, clean off any dirt, wipe oil onto the blades for protection and store dry. Avoid cutting into wire or other metals. Cutting diagonally can prolong the longevity of the blades. 


By purchasing this item you are confirming that you are over the age of 18, and that we may contact you prior to dispatch in order to verify this. Orders including any bladed items will incur an additional courier age verification charge and legally require delivery to persons aged 18 and over.

Care Advice

Wipe thoroughly after use to remove any plant residue or sap, and follow with a light coating of oil to protect from rust. Store in a dry environment. Sharpen with a curved secateur stone, if the blade edges are concave.
