These shears are traditionally used for Ikenobo, which is the oldest school of flower arranging in Japan, dating back to the 15th century. These are made by a third-generation blacksmith named Nagaike san, who was born in 1939 and is one of the few remaining in what used to be a hotbed of blacksmiths. These are made with reactive high-carbon steel with C0.85. Please wipe them dry after use to keep them from rusting.
