Unique Kaneshin concave cutter

[Poink88]

I saw this on eBay and it looks interesting. The pivot/joint area design is similar to the industrial pliers and unlike the traditional bonsai tool design. This is the first I've seen this design in a bonsai tool and I like it.

What do you think?

Looks pretty cool, wonder if it will hold up better in the long run.

 

[Poink88]

It should and with less "wobble" though the weakest point of these cutters are the cutting edge to begin with.

Poink88 those are very interesting and I tried to find out more about them. Could not find them on ebay.com or on the Kaneshin website (http://kaneshin.shop.multilingualcart.com/index_en_jpy.html). Which by the way is not just a listing of their items but an explanation of why they are constructed the way they are.

Could you provide some more information, product numbers etc.?

Doug,

All I have are the pics I lifted from the eBay listing. It says No. 3 DX (I think) on the first pic. Not sure if that helps any.

I am actually very intrigued by the top right tool also (post #5). First time I've seen one too...looks like an old toe trimmer but w/o the reverse curve.

Those prices are a little to high for the amount of use at my place. I find that between Fiskars and Sears I can find good cutters with a decent price and warranty.

Thanks for link Doug. They have a pretty nice web-site.

All I know is, the one with the most tools when he dies, wins.

My wife will...but then, I would say the same thing about her shoe collection.

Dario,

You don't have it in your will to be buried with your concave cutter collection?

 

[jkd2572]

Can you post the eBay listing address?

Dario,

They say you can't take it with you when you die?... I'm taking it with me when I die.

You could always just have one of your trees planted on top of your grave. Plenty of fertilizer. Though who would trim it?

Interesting looking cutters btw.
