SUWADA Bonsai Wire Cutter
Designed for removing aluminium and copper training wire from bonsai. The compact cutting head lets you work close to the tree so wire can be cut away with less risk of contacting the bark or branch.
Use dedicated bonsai wire cutters rather than unwinding trained wire from the tree, which can put unnecessary pressure on branches and bark.

Questions about this tool
Why use a dedicated bonsai wire cutter?
A bonsai wire cutter is shaped to cut training wire close to bark and branches. Cutting the wire away in short sections is generally safer for the tree than trying to unwind tight wire around the branch.
