[IBC] Concave Cutter
----- Original Message -----
From: "David Quisenberry" I had a very small concave cutter in the past which seems similiar to the Joshua Roth 7169 Me-Tsumi. Are there alternative choices for this shape available from other companies? I looked at Kiku, however, couldn't get enough product description to verify the size of the cutting head. David: The most complete catalog I know of Japanese tools can be found at: http://www.j-bonsai.com/ I have dealt with them and been very pleased with their service. They require a bank check or money order. Postage becomes express mail once it enters the US. ************************************************** ****************************** ++++Sponsored, in part, by Jerry Meislik++++ ************************************************** ****************************** -- The IBC HOME PAGE & FAQ: http://www.internetbonsaiclub.org/ -- +++++ Questions?

Michael: I got one years ago when they were a LOT
cheaper. (Wasn't everything?) I know these are nice for working on azalea. What other uses have you found for them?

Michael:
According to Bonsai Network Japan's catalog, they are available only from Masakuni. They come in two sizes, 170 & 215mm They are available in stainless (nos. 8161 & 8061, respectively) and in black (nos. 0161 and 0061, respectively) Price in Japan is $98 for the stainless and $75 for the black. Regards, Bart ----- Original Message ----- From: "Michael Persiano" [SNIP] For those who are not familiar with this tool, the crescent blade branch cutter has a spring for automatic opening after making a cut. The spring can either be used or removed for complete manual control. As for the question, I like to use it for both detailed work as well as major branch removals. I look upon this tool as a 2-in-1 alternative to carrying both shears and a concave cutter. I am certain that you will agree that it is a fascinating and versatile tool for the bonsai fanatic! );-) I do not know if it is available in anything other than stainless steel.
