Thes are beautifully made and very sharp. They were slightly larger than I expected (I have small hands)but have adjusted. They are great for trimming my flowers and herbs.

I am a professional florist and I bought these shears along with another kind from the same brand for flower arranging for weddings and events. The reason why I am not giving these shears full 5 stars is because when I went to use these shears the metal started to bleed/leach color which then left coloring at the ends of my stems. This is not good for the flowers as when the water becomes in contact with the stems that has this dye that is leaching from the shears, the flowers petals tips will start to turn the dye color, almost outlining the ends of the petals black. I have cleaned these shears several times since using and of course before the first them and they still continue to leach this weird coloring. Three stars because they are nice and sharp, but a little disappointed about the other issue I mentioned above.

use it for more then Ikebana. so sharp, i like cutting stems of branches with this.

Lovely pair of shears. Moves well and is well sharpened. Just what I wanted.
