Semi-professional oblique-cut bonsai branch cutter 280 mm

What it is for

It is used to remove very thick branches at their base. The oblique blades cut in and leave an elongated, teardrop-shaped wound that the plant heals over faster than the clean cut of a straight cutter. This is the tool you reach for when you need to open up space within the structure, take out a badly placed branch or thin out an overcrowded pad without leaving obvious stubs on the trunk.

Technical features

• Material: burnished steel
• Length: 280 mm
• Cut: oblique, concave blades producing a teardrop-shaped wound
• Build quality: semi-professional
• Use: very thick branches on large-size bonsai

Who it is suited to

Intermediate and expert level. Anyone who has already styled a few plants knows how much the type of scar left behind matters: with this cutter the callus forms along the direction of the fibres and the mark disappears sooner.

In everyday practice it is used during late-winter structural pruning, when working on very large bonsai in general and whenever a major pad needs correcting. The 280 mm length provides the leverage needed to tackle thick branches with little effort, even on bulky specimens. We recommend drying and oiling it after use on resinous conifers.
