scissors that are traditionally used for Japanese flower arrangements “Ikebana”.  The blades are set at an acute angle to cut without crushing the plant fibers. This means that the flowers can absorb water more easily and live longer. Super sharp and beautiful, this is one of our best selling floral scissors. It is highly regarded and extremely popular with florists.
Blue (Aogami)#2 (Hitachi Metals Ltd.) is made by adding Chromium and Tungsten / Wolfram to White Steel No.2. This results in increased toughness and the production of hard carbide molecules which improve edge retention. Many knife users have noted that while Blue Steel No.2 is very similar to White Steel No.2 in terms of edge sharpness, it has slightly superior edge retention.

Do not forcibly twist the blade left or right when it cannot be cut.
