Good value for the money. Yes they are a little crude, you do get what you pay for. However they are sharp, do the job well and if cared for they will last quite a while. Delivery was fast, tools are quality design. Would buy again.
The is currently a movement among horse owners to emulate the durability of the wild, unshod, hoof. Many women are joining this movement, and finding that the tools of the trade were often designed for bigger hands, or greater strength. These smaller tools, the concave cutter and knob cutter, are useful for trimming, nipping, and shaping tabs, raggedy edges, overgrown frogs, and laid-over bars.
In general, the tools are sharp, the blades align perfectly, and they are easy to handle. They are well worth the money!
I was not expecting professional grade tools, so when these came it was no suprise that they are a little crudely made. But for the money, they do represent a good value for the ocassional user. The old addage holds true - You get what you pay for. I am not a bonsai master and have less than a dozen trees, so these tools should be adequate for my needs. They are sharp out of the box, I'll see how long they stay that way. Bottom line is that these are tools that will do the job. I was worried that they would be so bad as to not be useable, but they look OK for my needs. Thank you Oriental Touch for the very quick delivery!
These quality speciality cutters are made of carbon steel. The set includes 8" concave cutter and 8 1/4" knob cutter.
