Know before you buy
Unlike standard bypass shears that leave a flat stub, these cutters have a rounded, concave blade. This allows you to cut slightly into the branch collar, creating a depression that heals over flush with the trunk, preventing unsightly scarring.
Yes. At 8 inches long with an ergonomic grip, these are designed to be compact and lightweight, making them easy to maneuver for detailed work regardless of hand size.
High carbon steel is durable but prone to rust if left wet. After each use, wipe the blades clean, remove any sap with a solvent, and apply a light coat of camellia or machine oil before storing them in a dry place.
Yes, the blades are designed to be sharpenable. You can maintain the edge using a small whetstone or a specialized bonsai tool sharpening stone to ensure they continue to make clean, precise cuts.
These are precision tools meant for delicate bonsai work. While they are made of durable steel, they are best suited for removing small-to-medium branches; avoid using them on branches that exceed the capacity of the jaw to prevent damage to the tool.
