Ikebana is the art of Japanese flower arranging and these scissors are typically used to cut the stems. As they are wickedly sharp and fabulously beautiful, they can be put to good use in any manner of domestic tasks. 

Saunders says:

"While I think ikebana is stunning, I have to admit that I don't do a great deal of it at home. I find these scissors fantastic for dismantling chickens and hardcore veg like artichokes. They have also been used for trimming my herb garden."
