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 dry after use to keep from rusting.
