KAKURI Bonsai Saw 3-1/8 inch (80mm) – Professional Japanese Carbon Steel Pruning Tool

Overview

Meet the KAKURI Bonsai Saw 3-1/8 inch, a compact, purpose-built pruning tool designed for careful bonsai work. Built with a Japanese carbon steel blade and a slim long-nose profile, it helps you make clean, controlled cuts with minimal effort.

The long-nose blade reaches narrow spaces where dense foliage hides branches, enabling precise cuts with light force. The blade edge holds a sharp bite, while its geometry reduces potential damage to delicate limbs—ideal for shaping and refining small trees.

Ergonomics and portability

The wooden handle, crafted from Japanese beech, fits naturally in the hand for steady control. At just about 0.9 oz and a compact 1.1 x 0.5 x 8.3 inch footprint, this tool slips into a bonsai toolbox or garden bag for easy access during sessions.

Crafted in Japan, this bonsai saw reflects traditional metalworking and a focus on durability. The carbon steel blade holds an edge well and responds to careful lubrication after use. With proper care, the edge maintains performance through many pruning sessions.
