Hand-forged concave pliers for larger branches on bonsai. The pliers provide a concave cut to get as close to the trunk as possible. The very fine tip provides precision in all cuts. Long handles and sharp edges provide good leverage even for large cuts. Recommended thickness of branches is approximately 8 – 13 mm. The cut is neat and smooth to minimize the risk of virus and fungal attacks. The edge is processed and hardened in the Japanese manner for long-lasting sharpness.

Characteristic of Japanese bonsai pliers is that the edges do not meet but overlap slightly. This minimizes wear on the cutting surface and instead cuts through the wood fibers.

The pliers are crafted by the Japanese company Wazakura, located in Niigata Prefecture on the island of Honshu in Japan. The pliers are hand-forged in carbon steel in the traditional Japanese way. The tip is not pressed but forged through stretching, resulting in a more refined steel with less crystallization and therefore more durable. It has good sharpness, but like all good tools, it needs maintenance. Sap needs to be wiped off or sometimes washed away. Then it should be thoroughly dried and preferably lubricated with, for example, camellia oil for rust protection and lubrication.
