Best usage:

The straight edge allows users to cut close to the base of a branch or twig without leaving a stub. This helps wounds heal reducing the risk of dieback or infection. 

How to use bonsai branch cutters:

• Visualise the shape of your bonsai and decide which branches to remove or shorten.
• Position the blades parallel to the branch with the cutting edge just above the intended cut point.
• Apply firm, steady pressure and close the handles to make a smooth, clean cut.

Care & Maintenance:

• Clean and dry the cutters thoroughly after each use. If working on multiple trees, disinfect the blades between cuts to prevent the spread of disease.
• Sharpen regularly for a clean, crisp cut, and apply a little camellia oil to protect the steel.
• Store in a dry place to prevent rust and corrosion.
