Concave Branch Cutters

STANDARD CONCAVE BRANCH CUTTERS

Known in Japan as Mataeda Hasami, these razor sharp tools are designed for cutting branches flush to the trunk. The resulting wound can then heal over quickly with little scarring. The Concave Cutter is the single most important tool for Bonsai use and for which there is no substitute. The 8" versions are considered the basic size to begin with.
