6-Piece Bonsai Tool Set,Knob Cutter,Trunk Splitter,Concave Cutter,Wire Cutter,Jin Pliers,Bonsai Scissors

As a Bonsai beginner I wanted good tools so as to get good results, but I couldn’t justify an expensive professional set. I went with this 6 piece set and am glad I did over a 4 or 5 piece. No idea when I’ll use the trunk splitter but now it’s there if I do.I liked that the manufacturer showed individual photos naming each tool because, as I said I’m a beginner. Nice touch I thought.The stainless used is not like your kitchen sink. There are different grades and these may show rust as some have pointed out. This is avoidable. I recommend a tool roll. Tougher to find an appropriate one than you would think due to the width of each tool , so a square piece of pliable leather or a chamois will work. Set the tools in the center, fold the bottom up and the top down and then roll it. Simple and cheap.I also keep these clean with isopropyl alcohol which disinfects as well as cuts through fresh pine pitch, and oil them after use as I put them away.If it’s really humid you can keep them in a toolbox with old desiccant pouches.Sharp, good proportions, and they feel good in my hand. Very happy and not at all the reason why my plants suffer. ; )
