21cm Stainless Steel Bonsai Root Rake

This 21 cm root rake consists of three straight, parallel stainless steel tines integrated into a continuously formed handle. Overall dimensions: 21 cm length × 1.2 cm maximum width × 1.0 cm thickness at handle base. Tines are 4.5 cm long with a uniform 1.5 mm thickness and mirror-polished finish for easy cleaning. Weight: 95 g. No secondary materials, adhesives, or protective coatings are used — only certified food-grade stainless steel compliant with EU Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004 for indirect food contact, suitable for edible herb containers and fruit-bearing dwarf trees. Its functional niche lies in precision interventions: lifting thin layers of algae-covered soil from bonsai trunks, teasing apart matted fibrous roots during transplanting, creating shallow furrows for fine-seed sowing, and removing encrusted mineral deposits from terracotta pot rims. It does not replace broad cultivators or deep tillers — instead complements them by solving problems they cannot address due to scale or aggression. Ideal for gardeners who value repeatability, low learning curves, and minimal post-use maintenance. Fits seamlessly into existing toolkits alongside concave cutters, knob cutters, and wire pliers — forming part of a coherent system for refined plant husbandry.
