Rooted in centuries of horticultural tradition, the Japanese Pruning Scissors by Burgon & Ball bring the precision and beauty of bonsai and ikebana practice into your indoor garden. With their razor-sharp, fine-pointed blades and traditional styling, these scissors offer both aesthetic appeal and unmatched performance for fine pruning work.
Crafted from high carbon steel, the blades are engineered to retain an exceptionally sharp edge, making them perfect for precise, clean cuts on even the most delicate stems. The narrow, pointed tips allow you to isolate and trim with accuracy – ideal for shaping bonsai, refining trailing houseplants, cutting herbs, or removing spent leaves without damaging surrounding growth.
The ergonomic handle loop offers excellent control and a firm, balanced grip, allowing you to snip with accuracy, whether you're styling a philodendron or arranging a flower display. With a design that combines reach, strength and delicacy, these scissors are equally suited to Japanese plant art, Western floristry, and everyday indoor plant care.
As part of Burgon & Ball’s specialist houseplant tools collection, they pair beautifully with the brand’s Houseplant Pruner, Orchid Snips, and Terrarium Tool Set.
