Flower Shears - Hand Creation F-170
Flower shears by Sakagen, designed for flower arrangement and ikebana. Good Design Long Life Design Award, 2010.
The HAND CREATION F-170 has been Sakagen's most popular shears since its introduction - the 170mm length and well-balanced weight sit naturally in the hand, and the ergonomic handle design reduces fatigue during extended use. The blades are fluorine-coated, which reduces friction, resists rust and plant sap, and keeps the cutting edge clean and sharp with minimal maintenance.
The precision of the cut matters in flower work. A clean, uncrushed stem draws water efficiently; a torn or compressed one does not. Sakagen's blade geometry is designed to cut without collapsing the stem's vascular tissue, which extends the life of cut flowers in an arrangement. The shears come in a presentation box with a blade sheath.
Please note: the colour of the blade sheath may vary from what is shown in the picture.
