Seeking ideas about my new Satsuki Yuki Azalea

Chose what you think will work best for you. Either way, properly kept, these will be the scissors you will use for a long time!

I’ve used the 228, not the bud scissors. However I don’t own these, they were loaned to me to try out.

Honestly I couldn’t tell the difference between the Kaneshin and Musakuni and I do a lot of scissor work. I don’t use bud scissors most of the time, even though we have a couple pair. instead I use SS bent nose tweezers. It’s quicker, and more exact most of the time.

Thanks for your reply!

To be frank, any of these would work for me, so on a practical level it makes zero difference. I just love blades of all sorts and started collecting knives years before I knew what a bonsai was. So for me, procuring unique cutting blades is a hobby in and of itself.

Grow the tree out in the ground or nursery pot to achieve a nice trunk, as the tree gets bigger you will have more options to chose, I would say informal or slant style, at this point you have a long way to go if you really want something nice, I try not to prune much at this stage unless it’s really necessary because it hinders speedy growth
