Know before you buy
These cutters are specifically designed for medium to small gauge aluminum and copper wires, which are the standard materials used in bonsai training.
The angled head allows you to reach into dense foliage and tight branch structures more easily, providing better visibility and control when removing wire without nicking the tree's delicate bark.
Yes, the Koyo wire cutter features an ambidextrous design, making it comfortable and functional for both left- and right-handed users.
Because the blades are uncoated, it is best to keep them clean and dry after each use to prevent oxidation. A light wipe with a drop of camellia oil or a similar tool-grade oil will help maintain the steel's longevity.
While they use a bypass cutting mechanism, they are primarily engineered for wire management. To preserve the precision of the blades, it is recommended to use them exclusively for wire rather than woody stems.
