The Satsuki Hasami, with its long, narrow body, is a fine shear for trimming buds and reaching deep with minimum distrubance to the surrounding foliage. Its' finger rings are also well suited for smaller hands. The nice finish and laminated construction of its' blades are a good balance between cost and quality for intermediate-level enthusiasts. 1-1/2" Blades, 7-3/4" Overall Length.
