Jin are branch tips or branches stripped of bark, imitating the deadwood on old trees in nature. With jin pliers you grip the bark and loose fibres and pull them off. The pliers are also useful when wiring, to tighten, bend or loosen the wire.

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.
