- 200 x 27 x 48mm
- S55c Carbon Steel with Black Coating
- Cuts branches upto 12mm
- Concave head for smooth scar free healing
Specially designed for clean, concave cuts on bonsai branches up to 12mm thick, these cutters are an essential addition to any bonsai enthusiast’s toolkit — and make a thoughtful gift for collectors and growers alike.
Handcrafted in Japan from high-quality carbon steel, they are prized for their exceptional strength, sharpness, and long-lasting edge retention. Perfect for making precise cuts that promote faster healing and minimise visible scarring on your trees.
The precision straight-edge design allows you to cut flush against the base of a branch or twig without leaving unsightly stubs. This encourages faster, cleaner healing while helping to reduce the risk of dieback, scarring, and infection.
How to Use Bonsai Branch Cutters
- Study the overall shape of your bonsai and identify the branches or twigs you wish to remove or trim back.
- Position the blades parallel to the branch, placing the cutting edge just above your intended cut point.
- Apply firm, even pressure to the handles to create a smooth, precise cut.
To keep your cutters performing at their best, clean and dry them thoroughly after each use. When working on multiple trees, disinfect the blades between cuts to help prevent the spread of disease. Regular sharpening will ensure crisp, accurate cuts, while a light coating of camellia oil will protect the carbon steel from moisture and corrosion. Always store in a dry place to prevent rust.
