Unlike carbon steel which requires regular oiling to prevent rust, these bonsai shears feature high quality stainless steel for rust proof durability. Ashinaga shears are useful for everyday pruning of your bonsai tree. Their narrow design makes it easier to get in between branches. The stainless steel construction makes it easy to use daily with little wear or maintenance. Useful for defoliating or cutting thin branches with ease. The overall length of the Ashinaga Bonsai Shear is approximately 8''. Made in China exclusively for Eastern Leaf.

Our Eastern Leaf tools were designed with the novice and intermediate enthusiast in mind. After working on bonsai for over 15 years, Jason found that Stainless Steel tools were the easiest to work with around the nursery due to their durability and rust resistance. After researching for years, Jason was able to find a balance of quality and affordability to make it easier for everyone to practice bonsai. The entire line of tools includes the ones used most often when styling and maintaining trees in the nursery. Each tool is branded with "Eastern Leaf" in Chinese characters on the handle of each tool so you know that the tool has met the standards that will help you continue forward on your bonsai journey.
