Bonsai 175mm Knob/Knuckle Cutter
Bonsai 175mm Knob/Knuckle Cutter
Knob cutters can be used for branch removal on bonsai trees that have a thick callus. They will create a concave cut into the trunk which leaves room for the callus to heal flush to the trunk.
To use the knob cutters first cut the branch with your branch cutters leaving a small knob, then finish the cut with the knob cutters.
Knob cutters are also handy for working down flat cuts or stumps to create a more natural transition.
They can be used to remove knobs (knuckles) up to 0.4-0.6cm in size.
