A pair of professional carbon steel butterfly shears, specifically designed for bonsai pruning and maintenance, is shown from a top-down perspective against a solid white background. These traditional bonsai tools feature short, sharp blades with a polished metallic edge and a sturdy pivot point, ideal for making precise cuts on small branches and foliage. The most striking feature of these shears is their large, rounded handles, which give them their "butterfly" namesake. The handles are finished in a smooth, matte black coating and offer wide loops for an ergonomic grip, allowing the user to apply controlled pressure during delicate work. A small logo is embossed near the pivot. The elegant, functional silhouette of these carbon steel shears reflects their durability and essential role in a bonsai enthusiast’s toolkit.

A product image of Tinyroots Japanese Choji Oil, a rust prevention solution specifically designed for the maintenance of bonsai tools. The image features the product's packaging: a rectangular cardboard box and a clear 1 fluid ounce (30ml) glass bottle equipped with a black rubber-topped glass dropper. The packaging design is split horizontally into two sections. The top half is white, decorated with an elegant pattern of red and white cherry blossoms (sakura) and subtle grey geometric shapes. The brand name "Tinyroots" is printed vertically in black, alongside a small red square containing the Japanese kanji for oil (油). The bottom half of both the box and the bottle label is solid black with bold white lettering. The text on the front of the box reads "CHOJI OIL," "RUST PREVENTION SOLUTION," and "1 FL.OZ (30ML)." The side of the box lists key product benefits such as "EASY TO USE DISPENSER," "PROTECTS & PRESERVES TOOLS," and "PREVENTS OXIDATION & RUST." It also notes that this is part of a "3-PIECE KIT" including Choji oil, a rust eraser, and a lint-free cloth. Small icons indicate the product is "READY TO USE!" and comes with a "100% SATISFACTION GUARANTEED" seal. The glass bottle's label mirrors this design, with a large, faint grey kanji character for oil in the background of the black section.

Tinyroots Heavy Duty Carbon Steel Butterfly Shears

The "Butterfly" shaped pruning shear is one the most popular and versatile bonsai tools on the market. They’re very easy to use, exceptionally powerful because of their unique design and have plenty of room in the handles to accommodate gloved fingers.

If you’re a Bonsai beginner, a pair of shears should be the first tool you buy. As your Bonsai tree grows long shoots you'll need to trim them, and pruning shears are the right tool for the job. When it comes to trimming roots, twigs, and branches easily and precisely, Butterfly Shears are essential.

This tool is best suited for trimming, cutting and pruning, but it’s also sharp and powerful enough to cut directly through branches that are strong and thick.

Butterfly pruning shears are effective because they can reach areas that typical pruning shears cannot. They’re designed with an opening between the handles that allows the user to clip the targeted bud or branch without crushing the surrounding foliage.

Carbon Steel Dimensions: 190 mm
