Edge Hardness: HRC50 quenching by the high frequency coil. About the gap between of the cutting edge Why is there a gap between the cutting edges?
The gap in bonsai scissors is by design, not a flaw. Here’s why:
They cut different things: — Normal scissors cut soft, flat material (paper, fabric) by shearing. — Bonsai/pruning scissors cut hard, round stems.
How they work: — Normal scissors need blades tight together to slice smoothly. — Bonsai scissors work like a sharp wedge + lever. — The gap lets the stem snap cleanly without crushing it.
Why the gap helps:
Saves the plant – prevents crushing, so cuts heal fast.
Saves the blade – avoids metal-on-metal wear.
Stays clean – sap and bits don’t stick inside.
Short version: The gap keeps cuts clean, protects the blade, and gives more power for cutting branches. It’s made for live plants, not paper.

Test the tightness of rivets When the scissors handles closed, the tip of blades is stick by each other, when the handles open, you could feeling a little bit loose, because of the gad between on the blades. it's normal state.
Precautions for Using Bonsai Tools
⚠️ Extremely Sharp Blades The blades are extremely sharp. Prioritize your safety and that of people nearby during operation. Do not leave tools on elevated surfaces; accidental drops may lead to bodily harm or tool damage.
📏 Match Tool Size to Branches Select properly sized bonsai tools. Never cut branches thicker than the tool’s rated cutting capacity, as oversize branches will easily damage the blade.
🪵 Not for Dry Dead Branches Do not cut dry, dead branches with these tools—this will dull and ruin the cutting edges quickly.
🌱 Clear Soil Grit Before Trimming Fine grit from potting soil scratches blades severely. Brush off dirt and mud from branches thoroughly before trimming.
🛡️ Protect Tool Tips Protect the tool tips at all times. Even minor direct impacts can deform or chip the tips.
🧰 Post-Use Maintenance Required Complete proper maintenance after every use.
