BONSAI TRUNK SPLITTER (MIKIWARI) – A Japanese trunk splitter with strong jaws for splitting thick branches and trunks, for example to create jin and shari, to reduce a thick trunk, or to split a heavy branch before bending it. HAND FORGED IN SANJO, JAPAN – Hand forged in Sanjo, Niigata Prefecture, a Japanese metalworking town known since the 17th century, from carbon steel: the heated steel is hammered and shaped for strength. HOW TO USE – Set the jaws into the wood and split in small bites along the grain with steady pressure, rather than forcing one big cut. Use scissors for thin twigs. SIZE – 210 × 50 × 14 mm (8.27 × 1.97 × 0.55 in), 210 g. Long handles give strong leverage. CARE AND SAFETY – Carbon steel can rust: wipe off sap, dry after use and apply a thin coat of oil. Sharp: keep out of reach of children.
