The Chikamasa B-500SLF are slanted, stainless steel blades with a fluorine coating. A slanted blade allows for more precision when cutting in tight, close quarters. Thanks to the fluorine coating, these Japanese stainless steel blades are sap resistant. Chikamasa B-500SLF specialized garden scissors are ideal for long hours of cutting and pruning in the field or chair. The outside edges are grounded round, a first for Chikamasa. Rounded edges on scissors protect the grain of the flower, grape or other agricultural commodity you’re pruning from bruising or other damage as you work. These trimmers are high-quality Japanese artistry at its finest.
