Cuts cleanly and works properly. I do clean the blades with rubbing alcohol after use.

Bien que je sois débutant dans la formation de bonsaïs, j'aime bien me procurer des outils de qualité. Il est possible qu'il en existe encore du plus haut de gamme mais ce coupe-branches me donne, pour le moment, une entière satisfaction de par sa solidité et sa précision de coupe.

Fantastic quality!! Just saving up a little more to keep buying more from them! 🙂

These are very sharp handy little nippers. I use them to trim the frog flaps on my horse's hooves. Works better than my hoof knife to remove the any excess frog covering the collateral grooves near the heel.
Sookie (verified owner) –
I use these to trim my horses bars and frogs and occasionally a hoof. They stay sharp and are an amazing fit for my hands.
Wouldn’t be without them. The quality is excellent.

How to Use Wazakura Japan Bonsai Concave Branch Cutter (verified owner) –
Very good quality for the price. Very sharp & the blades actually meet/touch perfectly not like the cheaper set I bought there's a gap in the tip.
Amazon Customer (verified owner) –
These were purchased for my son as a gift. He has recently started the hobby of bonsai . He was extremely happy to receive these and requested only this company to order from. I had a question, and they responded within 24 hours. I know we will be making more purchases from this company.

Bought this for my Bonsai trees. It is a professional grade tool and works very well to remove larger branches close to the tree trunk. I also have their sheers for smaller pruning and it is also a quality tool. Some reviewers complain that the tools rust. That is because they are tool steel, not stainless steel. Cutting tools are not made from stainless as it won't hold a sharp edge. Here is the solution to this problem, after every use put one drop of light oil on one of the blades than wipe all blade surfaces with your fingers to spread the oil. Also do not leave these precision tools in an un-airconditioned space such as a garage where the high humidity will eventually ruin them. I put mine back in the boxes they came in and keep them inside the house.

Must have for Bonsai. Amazing quality
Dale A. (verified owner) –
You can oil them with camellia seed oil to protect them from rust. It seems to be made with a lot of pride and very smooth movements. I would not leave them outside or wet for long at all. They have a stainless line as well if that bothers you. I am 1OO% happy with these. I did some heavy pruning with them on my Fukien tea tree in the image.

I was encouraged to purchase these by my regular timmer. They work wonderful for getting into those small places like the collateral groove and center sulcus. A great addition to your regular trim tools but very helpful if you struggle with a loop hoof knife or have small hands and need nippers with shorter handles (the concave clippers work great as well).

I use these for trimming frogs on my mini donkey where I don’t necessarily have to use a hoof knife. They work really well but wish they were more elongated to reach further into collateral grooves for tidying up small pieces of the frog. Exceptional quality.
