【Made in Japan by local blacksmith artisans】
Authentic Japanese bonsai tools handcrafted by skilled blacksmith artisans specializing in bonsai tools from the city of Sanjo, in Niigata Prefecture. Sanjo has been renowned since the 17th century for the metalworking skills of its artisans and blacksmiths.

【Very Sharp Minimal Scarring】
Ideal for removing trunk knobs, roots, and other larger limbs in close proximity to the trunk. It creates an almost spherical cut on the branch, promoting quick and smooth healing flush with the surface. When making cautious drastic cuts, it can be used to take small, deeper bites. The long handles provide leverage when cutting through thicker woody branches.

【Effortless Comfort and Secure Hold】
Designed for your comfort, the ergonomic handles provide a firm and comfortable grip. You can hold them securely without strain, allowing you to apply strength with ease. No more worries about tired hands while you expertly shape and maintain your bonsai.

【Handcrafted by Skilled Artisans】The carbon steel is heated and expertly shaped by hand, employing the same traditional artisan methods that have been used for centuries by blacksmiths to forge Japanese samurai swords.

With its rounded tip, this tool excels at creating precise, slightly angled cuts. It's my go-to for trimming thick post-pruning branches and roots.
I've even paired it with a carving knife for an extra level of finesse – the knob cutter takes care of the branch center, while the carving knife refines the edges. The sharpness and grip both meet my satisfaction, making it an incredibly useful addition to my gardening toolkit..
