Ryuga wire pliers - narrow handle, 20 cm, stainless steel
To wire bonsai, you need wire cutters, especially for thicker wire diameters, to attach the wire, bend it and later remove it again. To avoid damaging the bark of the plant, they have a short and rounded head. The pliers are also used to tighten the wire that holds the bonsai in the tray. The tool is also used to remove wood fibres and bark for jin and shari work. The stainless steel is easy to clean and the bent back end of the handle makes the pliers very comfortable to hold.
