Concave Branch Cutters, known in Japan as Mataeda Hasami are razor sharp tools 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.
Ryuga Branch Cutter. A must have tool for removing unwanted branches from your medium and larger sized bonsai trees. This branch cutter has a flat blade for leaving flatter cuts.
The overall length of the cutter is approximately 205 mm. Comes with a zippered storage pouch.
Maintenance and care.
If properly maintained these will last you a life time. Always when you have finished your work, sterilize your tolls. Oil the moving parts of the tools and wipe everything down with a cloth to prevent debris from getting into the mechanisms and to keep the shine on your tools. All tools should be placed in a pouch, roll, bag, to protect them from the elements and avoid getting damaged.

The beauty of the trees sitting in their pots, small yet majestic grew over me through the years and completely engulfed me in their magnificence. Having lived in different continents and countries, I have owned numerous bonsais over the years and always have had this unsatisfied hunger for more.
I am a Botanist and a certified Horticulturist. I have been living my dream with plants for the last 25 years. Having now settled down in Alberta, the love affair with the “tree in the pot” continues.....
