- Concave spherical cuts for quick, smooth healing
An essential bonsai tool designed for making precise concave cuts that heal cleanly with minimal visible scarring. Primarily used for removing branch knuckles and stubs, these cutters are ideal for medium to large bonsai and can also assist with deadwood shaping and unwanted root removal.
The specially curved blades cut slightly below the surface of the trunk, creating a shallow hollow that encourages natural callus formation. This helps the wound heal flush with the bark, reducing the risk of protruding scars, dieback, or infection while creating a smoother, more natural finish.
Best Use & Care
For the best performance, keep the blades clean, sharp, and lightly oiled after each use. Avoid cutting wire, metal, hardwood, or other unsuitable materials, as this can damage the cutting edge.
How to Use
-
Identify the branch knuckle or stub you wish to remove.
-
Position the blades around the base of the cut at a slight angle.
-
Apply firm, steady pressure to create a smooth, clean cut. Avoid twisting or forcing the blades, as this may damage the tool.
-
After use, clean and dry the blades thoroughly and apply a light coat of oil to help prevent rust and corrosion.
