Designed specifically for bonsai repotting, this Japanese Bonsai Repotting Sickle provides a simple and effective way to release established trees from their pots while minimising unnecessary disturbance to the root system.
The curved 160mm serrated saw-style blade is designed to be worked carefully between the root ball and the inside wall of the bonsai pot, cutting through compacted roots and substrate that may be holding the tree firmly in place.
Its compact blade provides excellent control when working around bonsai containers, particularly where dense root growth has made removing the tree difficult.
Manufactured in Japan using specialty steel, this traditional tool is a practical addition to any bonsai repotting kit.
