YMCS-9 Carbon steel knob cutter 180mm
180mm in length and made with carbon steel; each tools under goes a rigorous test by the manufacturer before release and is made to Japanese quality standards. A great tool for removing branches whilst minimizing the scar. Also known as "nibblers" used to cut away at old stumps making the removal of dead wood much easier. Knob cutters are used to both 'nibble' away small stumps on trunks and branches, leaving a hollow to enhance healing. They will stay sharper longer as well as resisting rust. Though not usually a beginner's tool, most bonsai mavens wouldn't be without one 180mm.
