Kobu Kiri Hasami - Stainless Steel Knob Cutters
$249.95
Built for practitioners who demand the finest edge and the longest life from their tools, these master grade Kobu Kiri Hasami—Japanese knob cutters—are forged from stainless steel for exceptional corrosion resistance without sacrificing the sharpness bonsai work demands. Their spherical blades bite cleanly into trunk knobs, thick roots, and heavy branch stubs, leaving a shallow, hollowed-out wound that heals smoothly and with minimal scarring.
The name Kobu Kiri (瘤切) means "knot cutter" or "lump cutter," referencing the rounded bulges that form at the base of branches or within dense root zones. This master grade edition is crafted in Japan to a finer tolerance than standard cutters, giving practiced hands the control to reduce or eliminate those growths without disturbing surrounding bark or cambium.
Stainless steel construction makes these cutters an excellent choice for growers working in humid climates or for anyone who wants a lower-maintenance alternative to high-carbon steel, without giving up the precision a serious collection demands.
