This surpassed all my expectations. If you’re thinking of getting a pair of bonsai scissors and don’t want to spend $50 on the big brands like kikuwa and kaneshin, this is great bang for your buck. I translated the packaging and confirm they’re made in Japan. Japanese have the best steel so this will stay sharp for a long time. Just make sure to dry them if they get wet, as all carbon steel is susceptible to rust. Very impressed! You can also tell they’re well made because the tips of the scissors cross over each other which is the sign of quality bonsai scissors.

Wakashishi/Bonsai scissors MADE IN JAPAN 180mm by Wakashishi are my second bonsai scissors. I had a smaller, more delicate pair for the easier cuts. I have small hands so they worked very well for me over 20+ years. When my first pair disappeared, I decided to try these. They arrived properly packaged in excellent condition. Although they are larger and heavier than my first bonsai scissors, they are well balanced and easy for me to use. My husband can use these more easily than the old ones. They are the sharpest scissors of any kind that I ever owned. They are perfect for the larger, older branches and sharp enough for cutting flower stems. I love them. Great investment. I recommend this product. (By the way, I found my old ones.)

This is a menacingly sharp cutting scissor. They are very heavy duty looking, and quite easy to use with the very large grips for even gloved hands. I love the traditional Chinese scissor design, which helps to get the maximum leverage and grip, which still looking graceful and stylish. They are also pretty light weight as well.I will say that you do have to be careful with rust as these are carbon steel scissors. They are also super pointed and super sharp, which mean handle with care. These scissors can easy snag on anything due to the extremely sharp and pointed tip and that they have a slight over bite. The two cutting edges will overlap at the tip to make sure they made a clean cut.

Very sturdy, would be surprised if it does not hold up for a long time. Also quite sharp. Other comments mentioned the mechanism holding the shears together was quite loose. Mine are fitted perfectly, surely there will be some outliers in the manufacturing process, but these particular pair are great!

I do not use these scissors for bonsai (although they would probably be perfect for that application), but for floral work - deadheading, arranging and the like. They are just right for this. Lightweight, comfortable in the hand and very sharp. I anticipate these to be a "go-to" tool for many years.

These scissors seem to be well made and good value for the price. Very sharp and come with a bit of lubricating oil to prevent rust. I returned them because they were not a good ergonomic fit in my hand. I make the following comments realizing that if these things are important I should probably be willing to spend more $$. They seem a bit heavier than I would expect; this does give a feel of sturdiness, though. The blades are rather wide for getting between close branches, etc. though that too is part of the sturdiness. Because of the weight and poor fit for my hand they seem poorly balanced - for a different (larger?) hand this might not matter and make them good for heavier branches and other tasks. I gave 4 stars despite them not working out for me and appreciate the free return process.

Great pair of shears. Super sharp and great alignment, couldnt be happier for the price. Have several pairs of much higher priced ($80-$100) shears and the quality of these is just as good. Would buy again and highly recommend. These are my go to shears when working on my trees.
