I use it for thick branches, root processing, and jin work. The handle is just right, and the sharpness is excellent. I can cut thick branches without applying excessive force, making the work smooth and effortless. The blades seem to fit well together, leaving no fibers behind, which makes the work stress-free. The clean cut also makes post-processing easier and minimizes stress on the tree.
