Material: Stainless Steel * This product is not made in Japan.
Based on advice from a professional bonsai artist, the angle of No.552S was designed to reduce resistance and allow for more careful root loosening.
We were previously only manufacturing No.552S, but since some bonsai artists requested the older shape (No.553SA), we have brought it back.
No.552S catches the roots more strongly, which creates more resistance, but it also speeds up the work.
