hello,

I wanted to know more about this kind of blade and it's use.
Is it used for gardening or flower cutting?
I have one like this, purchased as very damaged blade, and after polishing it got temperline and even decorative temperline, like some kogatana can have (waves and dots), it seems that blade could also have wave and dots in the ji.

The blade looks to be signed. I think that it may be used for plant care.

that's interesting because I try to collect old bonsai and gardening tools
I had no idea about how the mount was supposed to be.
These scissors I use almost everyday, would require dissassembly to remove the pin, and make better adjustment, because these are old and used.
