Vintage Traditional Forged Iron Bonsai Scissors Butterfly Shears Pruning Chinese

This is a pair of traditional forged iron bonsai scissors, also widely known as butterfly shears or traditional Chinese/Japanese pruning shears.

Design: They feature a classic wide-loop or "butterfly" handle design. This shape allows your fingers to sit close to the pivot point, offering maximum control and a comfortable, balanced grip.
Material: Typically hand-forged from blackened carbon steel, which holds a razor-sharp edge longer than stainless steel but requires basic oiling to prevent rust.
Primary Purpose: They are highly favored for detailed gardening work, such as deadheading flowers, trimming delicate plant roots, thinning leaves, and pruning fine branches.
Versatility: Beyond the garden, these utility shears are popular for crafting, cutting thick twine, sewing or embroidery, and snipping fresh herbs in the kitchen.

These vintage scissors are crafted from durable black iron, showcasing a timeless design and precision. A functional tool with antique charm.
