Blue steel scissors

The steel used is "Blue steel" from Yasuki Steel about the scissors of this page.

Yasuki Steel refers to steel produced at company located in Yasuki City, Shimane Prefecture.

Since ancient times, it has been famous as a production area for Tamahagane, the steel used for Japanese swords.

The types of Yasuki steel commonly used for knife steel include Blue steel, White steel, and Yellow steel.

It is so called because colored paper was pasted on the finished steel in order to separate the quality of the steel.

Blue steel is mainly used for Sashimi knives, and White steel is mainly used for Deba knives.

A sashimi knife is a type of Japanese knife specialized for thinly slicing raw seafood for sashimi.
Because a dull blade can change the taste, blue steel is used, which makes the blade less likely to chip.

On the other hand, a deba knife is a thick, heavy Japanese knife specialized for filleting fish.
Its thick blade allows it to cut off the head of a fish and cut through bones,
and it is primarily single-edged, making it suitable for cutting along the bones of a fish.
Blue steel is too hard and can slip when cutting through bones, so deba knives are made from white steel.

In bonsai, blue steel is suitable for cutting soft things like leaves and buds,
while white steel is suitable for cutting small branches.

However, blue steel can also be used to cut small branches, and white steel can also be used to cut buds and leaves.
The question is which is more suitable.
