How to use it

A knob cutter removes branch stubs and takes buds and knobs off right at the trunk. The jaws are shaped like half a sphere and bite out a small hollow. When the bark grows over it, the scar heals flat instead of forming a bulge.

Good to know

  • Stainless steel copes with moisture and sap better than ordinary steel, but still wipe the tool after use.
  • A drop of Ballistol or camellia oil on the pivot keeps the tool running smoothly.
  • Also available in a shorter shohin version.
