## Description

desertcart.com: Wazakura Hand Forged Bonsai Concave Branch Cutter, Made in Japan 8 inch (200mm), Japanese Gardening Tools, Straight Edge Black : Patio, Lawn & Garden

Review: Hand crafted and sharp blades - Amazing! Sharp blades and well made! I love it!
Review: Very well made - Bought this for my Bonsai trees. It is a professional grade tool and works very well to remove larger branches close to the tree trunk. I also have their sheers for smaller pruning and it is also a quality tool. Some reviewers complain that the tools rust. That is because they are tool steel, not stainless steel. Cutting tools are not made from stainless as it won't hold a sharp edge. Here is the solution to this problem, after every use put one drop of light oil on one of the blades than wipe all blade surfaces with your fingers to spread the oil. Also do not leave these precision tools in an un-airconditioned space such as a garage where the high humidity will eventually ruin them. I put mine back in the boxes they came in and keep them inside the house.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Do you make Stainless steel branch cutters?**
A: Although we are planning on it, at the moment we do not have a clear schedule of when they will be available.

**Q: I received and returned two concave pruners because they were very hard to open and close. Is this normal for the concave pruners?**
A: Yes, it is normal and will loosen with use.

**Q: Can they cut wire?**
A: Cutting wire may damage the blades of the concave cutter. 
We recommend using the bonsai wire cutter instead - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B086QWBCGR

**Q: How wide of branches can these cut through?**
A: I would say up to 3/8 inches in diameter, it gets weaker by the tip if used for branches 1/2 inches thick.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A must-have tool for bonsai!
*by T***D on August 6, 2021*

Regular pruners are fine for the majority of gardening cuts, but they can't get close enough to make a flush cut on bonsai. However, these can. While not truly concave cutters, since they are flat-faced as opposed to curved, they do make an inward cut on most branches and roots that comes out nice and clean. They feel very solid in the hand, and come pre-oiled, wrapped in plastic, and placed in a nice presentation box that is perfect for giving as a gift. The only negative with these cutters is that they are not stainless steel. I knew that when buying them, and I'm OK with it because I'm a neat freak when it comes to all my tools anyway. If you get these cutters wet and don't dry them soon after, the uncoated steel surfaces WILL develop rust. After every use, I rinse them under running water, wipe with a dry cloth, then spritz with a little WD-40. If you do get some surface rust, just buff it out with 220 grit sandpaper and you're good to go. These cutters are well worth the money, and I know they will last me for decades to come. Wazakura has definitely earned a customer here, and I plan to buy some of their other bonsai tools soon.
