Rooted in traditional Japanese craftsmanship, the Kobukiri is a specialist tool designed for controlled branch splitting and removal. Ideal for gardeners and bonsai enthusiasts, it offers a unique approach to shaping and managing woody growth.
Forged from high-quality steel, these cutters deliver strength, durability, and precise control. The rounded, robust jaws are designed to grip and split branches cleanly, making them particularly effective for heavier pruning tasks and intentional deadwood work.
With a longer handle for added leverage, the Kobukiri provides power and accuracy, allowing you to work confidently on thicker material.
Specifications:
Overall length: 210mm
Weight: 190g
Material: High-quality steel
Designed for: Branch splitting, removal, and structural pruning
Position on the branch
Place the jaws around the section of branch you want to remove or split, typically closer to the trunk for controlled work.
Apply steady pressure
Squeeze the handles gradually to grip and begin splitting the wood rather than making a clean slice.
Control the split
Use gentle movement to guide how the branch separates, especially useful for creating natural-looking deadwood (jin or shari in bonsai).
Refine as needed
After splitting, you can tidy the area with finer tools for a more natural finish.
Care for your tool
Wipe clean after use and apply a light oil to maintain the steel and prevent corrosion.
