Overview
Set of 5 Hooked Carving Knives for Bonsai Length 200 mm Hooks Made of Stainless Steel and Black Handle For Shaping Dead Wood Jin and Shari

The set of hooked carving knives is designed for bonsai growers who wish to create and refine areas of dead wood on their trees. The package includes 5 hooked knives with various sizes and shapes of hooks, so you will find the right tool for every part of the trunk and branch. The hooks are made of stainless steel and fitted with a handle featuring a metal transition. The knives are used for scraping and removing bark, deepening grooves, and modelling the surface of dry wood. This allows you to gradually shape the trunk and branches into naturally appearing Jin and Shari effects.

Each knife has a black handle with a brass-coloured transition to the steel shaft, which provides a good grip and control in hand. According to the manufacturer's drawing, the knife measures 200 mm in length, the hook of the depicted knife has a size of 25 mm and the side blade is 18 mm. The long shaft helps reach into areas between branches. Smaller hooks are suitable for fine grooving and details, while larger hooks are for removing larger amounts of wood and for rough shaping.

When working, proceed slowly and remove wood in small layers to ensure the final shape has a natural appearance. Guide the knives in the direction of the grain and divide larger interventions into several steps, allowing the tree to rest in between. After each use, clean the tools of sap, resin, and wood residues, dry them, and store them in a dry place. You can sharpen the hooks as needed with a fine file or sharpening stone to maintain good cutting ability. Keep the handles clean and dry to prevent the tool from slipping from your hand while working.

The set of five hooked knives is a practical addition for any bonsai enthusiast engaged in shaping old trunks and branches. The tools are suitable for both conifers and deciduous trees, where you want to emphasise the age and character of the wood. The various sizes of hooks cover work from rough wood removal to fine details on dead wood Jin and Shari. Hooks made of stainless steel and shaped handles facilitate precise knife control during work. The set will find its place in a home bonsai collection as well as in a gardening workshop.
