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

  • This tool is made of ordinary steel. Wipe it after use and give it a drop of oil - Ballistol or camellia oil, for example - so it doesn't rust.
  • The Starter range is good-value tools to get you going. For sharper blades and a longer life, take a look at Ryuga and Japanese premium.
