Bonsai Repotting Rootball Pruning Knife

Bonsai Repotting Rootball Pruning Knife

Finally back in stock after several years absent! What the hell is this for?

When re-potting bonsai many folk spend hours raking out the outer parts of the rootball.....and then cut off all the exposed roots. When working on well established trees simply use this knife to cut away the compacted outer and lower parts of the root ball. Once this is done the remainder can be raked out in the normal way. Leaves clean cut root ends that regenerate quickly and, having a deeply serrated edge means that fairly thick roots are easily cut through. Makes light work of compacted rootballs. This knife gets so much use in our workshop Graham litterally wore it out and had to get another!

Made in Sweden from very hard high carbon steel. This very unusual tool will save hours of work and will last a lifetime.....unless you wear it out of course.

Remember, always oil carbon steel tools prior to storage. Use our special Camellia Oil.

360mm (14") blade with moulded plastic handle (colour may vary). 510mm (20") overall length.
