Customized Ready Stock Lightweight Bud & Pruning Shears, Stainless Steel Resists Sap Corrosion and is Washable

The 170mm size falls between the common 180mm, 150mm, and 160mm lengths. Personally, I find it to be the most balanced and versatile size for various tasks. The blade's tip is fine and slightly shorter, allowing for more precise bud cutting, making it ideal even for miniature bonsai. (It can reach into the tightest spaces between small leaves and branches.) Compared to common 150mm-160mm small shears, where the blade is often wider, working within dense branches can be challenging due to limited space, and might inadvertently damage surrounding branches. These shears effectively avoid such issues. The handle is ergonomically designed to fit the fingers, with a classic, understated aesthetic. Weighing approximately 70g, its light weight ensures comfort during extended use without causing fatigue. For stainless steel bonsai shears, this model offers excellent value, being affordable and versatile. It's suitable for most bonsai maintenance tasks. With proper care and use, these shears can last for 20-30 years, representing a truly worthwhile investment.
