Bonsai Tools
Successful bonsai pruning requires tools specifically made for the job. You and your tree will be happier with the results from using quality tools. For beginners, the two most important tools needed for shaping and pruning your tree are a concave cutter and shears. As one advances, other tools are needed to really get the correct results, and the enjoyment from the hobby.
Since Bonsai is a long-term hobby and that over the years, a bonsai enthusiast is likely to run into a number of issues, we suggest using a bonsai tool kit comprised of a variety of quality bonsai tools for a wide range of grooming and maintenance issues.
Concave Cutters - Crucial Tool - Price: $35.00
Concave branch cutters - overall length is eight inches. Concave cutters are the only tool for which there is no western equivalent for those just starting bonsai. There is nearly a universal agreement that this is the one specialized tool you will eventually have to buy to continue training bonsai. The angled jaws allow you to head back and remove branches very close to the trunk or main branch. They also make a slight concave depression, which will heal over cleanly, without a bump.
