This Stainless Steel Bonsai Knob Cutter is designed for accurate, controlled pruning of branch knobs and stubs, helping you maintain the natural lines and structure of your bonsai. Crafted from corrosion-resistant stainless steel, it offers reliable performance and consistent cutting results for both beginners and experienced enthusiasts.

The maximum shear capacity of around 15 mm (0.59 in) makes it suitable for fine to medium bonsai work.
