Here is the English translation of the text explaining the bonsai scissors:

This is a finely crafted product, handmade by skilled artisans in Sanjo, Niigata.
The scissors have a user-friendly design and are favored by experienced bonsai enthusiasts.
They are lightweight overall, making them ideal for pruning branches in hard-to-reach areas and for pinching buds.
The steel used is Yasuki White Steel.

Meaning of Yasuki White Steel:

Carbon steel, as the name suggests, is steel with a high carbon content.
Compared to other steels, carbon steel is known for its sharp cutting edge.
White Steel is considered high-grade steel.
While harder steels are usually more difficult to sharpen,
White Steel strikes a balance between sharpness and ease of sharpening.

In summary, the scissors are made from carbon steel, which offers a sharp edge,
and because they are finished with White Steel (Shirogami), they are easy to sharpen.
