Folding bonsai saw in satin steel, 180 mm

What it is for

The saw comes into play when a branch is too thick for the concave cutter or for shears. It is used to remove large-diameter limbs, lower a trunk, or prepare a stub to be turned later into jin or uro. The 180 mm toothed blade cuts on the pull stroke and works through hard, seasoned wood without tearing the fibres, leaving a clean cut that is then refined with the knob cutter before sealing with wound paste.

Technical features

• Satin steel blade, 180 mm long
• Toothing for cutting green and dry wood
• Folding mechanism: the blade retracts into the handle
• Anatomical two-tone non-slip grip
• Semi-professional quality

Who it is for

Ideal for the advanced hobbyist and for anyone working with pre-bonsai material or yamadori, where structural work is frequent. The folding design makes it easy to carry out into the field.

In practice it is used during the styling stage, when deciding which limb to remove, and for hard late-winter pruning on broadleaves such as elm, hornbeam and olive. We recommend wiping a film of oil on the blade after every session: the satin finish holds up well, but the resinous sap of pines and junipers tends to clog the teeth.
