bonsaiTALK Community - View Single Post - What's in your bonsai tool box?

I love the 2020's and also have had the time finding replacement blades. My blades are shorter as well...ie sharpening down.

I also use that darn 2001 an awful lot. Esp when collecting or in the garden.

There a time when Maskuni's were reasonable in cost, both to the whoelsaler and the end user but honestly that was 18 or so years ago.

The first big order I got for them was over 4000$ at wholesale/ to a big nurery here in MI. Later I wondered what ever happened to that stock....

At any rate I'm glad I got them then, as today I would not be in that postion to buy them.

Again though, the other tools from JR (japanese private label) and Futaba are excellent and IMHO are just as good.
