These tools are specifically designed for cutting & pruning roots during transplanting and re-potting. Unlike Knob Cutters, which have spherically-contoured heads, the wide cutting blades of the Root Cutter are straight. The blades are much stronger for cutting the denser wood fibers usually found in roots. The head is contoured to provide added clearance.
The root cutter's shape also makes it ideal when working with deadwood. The harder sturdier design helps to cut harder wood and to make angled cuts. The root cutter can also be used as a smaller trunk splitter.
The overall length of the Shear is approximately 210 mm. Comes with a Ryuga branded tool pouch.
Maintenance and care.
If properly maintained these will last you a life time. If you have carbon steel tools, the best way to keep them looking shiny and glossy is to use oil such as tsubaki oil or just ordinary wd-40. Spray or apply the oil directly to the carbon steel tools and then wipe them off immediately. This will not only help preserve the shine in the metal but also help against rust if you've accidentally left them out in the rain.

"Passion is the biggest determinant of a grower's success"
Bonsai was a passion, which was sparked at a very young age of 12, when I used to go out with my uncle to collect specimens. The beauty of the trees sitting in their pots, small yet majestic grew over me through the years and completely engulfed me in their magnificence. Having lived in different continents and countries, I have owned numerous bonsais over the years and always have had this unsatisfied hunger for more.
I am a Botanist and a certified Horticulturist. I have been living my dream with plants for the last 25 years. Having now settled down in Alberta, the love affair with the “tree in the pot” continues.....
