New Ryuga Bonsai Shears from Robert Steven

[Jarad]

I'll put my money on stopper.

The scissors are open in the photo and the two closest points are the stopper and the long handle.

Hi There

I'll let you all know what it is for as I have ordered a pair.

Hi Steven
I am going for the "Dragon" eye.

Maybe it acts like a bit of a spring so they bounce open again?!

Or maybe just a talking point

[Black Knight]

Hi All,
Just got the reply back from the Importer & Robert Steven has stated that it is for "decoration use".
This reply does not confirm or deny the Dragon eye theory thou.
Regards,
Black Knight

I'll eat my words then.

"Decoration use" Isn't that an oxymoron?

This is funny. ''revolutionary bonsai tool'' They do what every other pair of scissors do....cut things.
I'm sure they're good quality but revolutionary? Please!

Thanks blacknight,so I guess I was right,I still reckon they look good,but would never buy at that price,as tree man says they just cut things,like my 2 dollar scissors do.

Oh come on! Don't be such a killjoy. After every cut you spin them round your finger. This makes it a revolutionary tool.

And as you deftly flip them upwards to swing them round your finger, just as the warm metal leaves your skin they whisper "I'll be back".

One thing with these new scissors, the curved profile bothers me a bit. When using them in your right hand, the curve goes to the right so if you're cutting a branch pointing to the left they work well because you need to move your hand less but if you are cutting a branch pointing to the right or straight up, you need to adjust your wrist more than normal to cut the branch square on - if that makes sense. If you need to cut a branch which points downward, you either need to bend your wrist further down than normal or turn them upside down.
So what is the point of the curve exactly? I mean what is the benefit? To my mind, unless you are just cutting left pointing branches (if you are right handed) it is less efficient than normal straight scissors. Or am I missing something?

I wonder if this is why Robert's trees are all windswept A?
