Sakagen F-170 Japanese Flower Scissors
Light 170 mm flower scissors for cutting fresh flowers and preparing stems for arrangements. The steel blades have a fluororesin coating that helps resist sap and moisture and makes them easier to wipe clean after use.
The F-170 is intended for flower work and other light plant material rather than hard branches or wire. Sakagen's guidance for the model includes thin branches around 5 mm; harder material of the same diameter can place much more load on the tool.
