The Chinese Long Handled Fine Twig Bonsai Scissors from Yorkshire Bonsai are ideal for both hobbyist and professional bonsai enthusiasts who require precision trimming within dense canopies. These scissors excel at making clean cuts on delicate buds and smaller branches, though their specialized design makes them unsuitable for cutting thick or woody stems that require bypass pruners.

No, these are fine twig scissors intended for green growth and soft stems. Using them on thick, woody branches can bend or damage the blades.
While the design is standard, the symmetrical nature of the long handles makes them generally comfortable for both left and right-handed users.
It is recommended to use a whetstone or a dedicated bonsai scissor sharpening tool, following the original bevel angle of the blade.
They are made of durable steel, but they are not rust-proof. Always dry them thoroughly after cleaning and store in a moisture-free environment.
While they excel at bonsai, they are excellent for deadheading flowers or pruning small herbs in an indoor garden.
Apply a small drop of machine oil to the center pivot screw and work the handles back and forth to distribute the lubricant.
The blades may have lost their edge or have sticky sap residue; clean the blades with a solvent and consider professional sharpening.
No assembly is required; the scissors are ready to use out of the box. To maintain the life of your shears, wipe the blades clean with a dry cloth after every use to remove sap and debris. If you are pruning a tree that has been treated for disease, wipe the blades with rubbing alcohol between different plants to prevent cross-contamination. Occasionally apply a light machine oil to the pivot point and blades to prevent corrosion and ensure smooth operation.
