Bonsai Pruning Shears.
Shears are an essential part of Bonsai and should be every Bonsai artists first tool.
These shears are ideal for the pruning of leaves, small branches and even root pruning to help focus the Bonsai's energy on the growing leaves, branches and roots you desire.
The reason for shears of this type being so popular among Bonsai artists is their ability to be precise and delicate. Unlike garden variety shears and scissors, these tend to get your pruning closer to the main branch, not leaving undesirable bumps on the branches.
Plus, they just feel awesome.
