Traditional Concave Cutter
Considered the most important of all bonsai tools is this average size cutter, with concave design to make flush cuts in bonsai.
Designed for extreme edge pressure cuts into material of contact. Known to majority of hobbyists, as the "most important of tools for bonsai." Penjing Iron Works recommends this tool for those in need of creating smooth cuts into small, medium, or moderately large bonsai parts. This tool can cut through weak to moderately strong wood and material. Used mainly to make flush and minimal scarring cuts on bonsai tree or material at which cuts will be administered, preferably parts of the trunk or branches. May also be used to remove large sections of roots and dead wood; however, we caution to monitor for rock, gravel, or wire. Although tools may penetrate these hard materials, the edges must stay uniformly sharp to perform in the way they are intended.
Applications include cutting branches, dead wood, heavy roots, and any tough parts of bonsai tree that require a flush and clean cut. Considering the fact that pure blade pressure is making the cuts, have edges touch before removing to ensure a successful cut. After the cut is made, if the bonsai tree does not produce a protective sap, Penjing recommends using a healing agent, also known as healing paste, wound repair, or other similar putty-like material to seal affected area such as our Cut Pastes. This will prevent pests and disease to the vulnerable living bark that has been exposed as a result.
Remove sap and keep sharp. Monitor possible debris accumulation at joint mechanisms. To keep sharp, a sharpening stone or other sharpening tools are advised. For sap removal, please do not use solvent, instead try soap and water first repetitively before resorting to more aggressive cleaning products.
