Is the tool he carrys everywhere Kaneshin? Perhaps, as a bonsai master, he prefers the opulence of Masakuni?
Nope
This is the 3.peaks LS-01. Apparently his father discovered this tool, likely for electricians (I made that last part up, I don’t remember).
He uses it for branch cutting, jin peeling, wire cutting, whatever you can do with similar looking tools.
He says that, as a professional, a pair lasts a year. In a year, he probably does more than we do in a decade.
$30 on eBay, $50 shipped from Japan (there’s probably something like this in the US). I had the pleasure of going to a workshop with him, and this was the only tool he brought or used.
I asked something like “why do people buy Masakuni then” and he kinda gave a sheepish grin and shrug, clearly not wanting to express the opinion further.
Can confirm that they are sharp and precise as heck.
