A versatile everyday tool for fine twigs and young growth.
Type: Twig cutter · Target: Fine twigs
The Bonsai twig cutter handles the everyday corrections that keep a bonsai silhouette clean: fine twigs, young shoots and small tips extending beyond the intended line. Its short, direct action gives control close to the canopy, provided the material cuts comfortably without forcing or twisting.
The cutting edges should close comfortably around the fine twig. If leverage, sideways movement or a second forced attempt is needed, choose a stronger appropriate tool.
