🌳 How It Works

The Kaneshin No.121 is designed specifically for removing a narrow ring of bark around a branch.

To use:

  1. Select the appropriate cutting position based on the branch diameter.
  2. Clamp the blades around the branch.
  3. Rotate the tool completely around the branch.
  4. Remove the ring of bark to prepare the branch for air layering.

The adjustable design accommodates branches of different sizes while helping produce clean, consistent cuts.

🔨 Precision Design

Unlike ordinary pruning scissors, the No.121 is engineered specifically for air layering.

Its dedicated blade geometry helps create an even ring cut around the branch, making the process faster, more accurate, and easier to repeat.

âš  Care Instructions

  • Clean the blades after each use.
  • Remove sap and plant residue promptly.
  • Dry thoroughly before storage.
  • Apply a light coat of tool oil to the blades.

Proper maintenance helps preserve the sharp cutting edges and extends the life of the tool.
