I have been practicing the art of bonsai for over 25 years and encouraged many to take up bonsai. This is an excellent starter tool set that will be useful for any beginner. It has everything they need to begin the great adventure.
Awesome product. All I could find elsewhere was half the tools for twice the cost. The canvas bag is also a great compliment to this product. Even adding this to your purchase, you are saving half of what most bonsai sites offer for the tools alone.
All of the tools come individually wrapped in either a plastic bag or casing. They are unlabelled, but appear to be lubricated and well sharpened. They arrived quickly (within a week for me) and without any damage or other issues. I would order from this source again in the future.
For the money, you can’t go wrong. I would highly recommend washing, sharpening and oiling after each use. I have had these for more than 2 months now and I use them heavily on a daily basis. With care, these are tools that I hope to pass on to generations to come. I would recommend getting the 10 piece tool bag as well.
Oriental touch LCC was quick and caring. I didn’t open until a couple weeks after receiving the box. Noticed I only gotten 9 of 10 pieces. Contacted Oriental touch and was amazed at the quick response. No hassle or problems was sent the missing piece in a few days. The 10 piece set is great and affordable for beginners.

I am no bonsai expert. In fact I got my first tree for Christmas which means I have been practicing the art of bonsai for approx 168 hours, 34 minutes and 15 seconds.
That being said, I am by no means experienced. But regardless I got a tree and I knew I needed some good tools to take care of it. Now I know I’m not going to give it a trim yet, it will take some time but I wanted to be prepared so I ordered this set not knowing what to expect other then what I read in these reviews.
The tools arrived in a white box, each tool is packaged separately so in theory if you didn’t want them all you could order the set then sell the pieces you don’t need.
Each tool is crafted out of metal and it feels like it’s got good quality behind it. I did snip a small piece from my tree just to test the sharpness of the scissors and it was an extremely clean cut the way it should be as to not damage the tree. If there is one thing I can say it’s these are very sharp!
The one thing that concerned me was an excess of oil around the bolts on the scissors, it wasn’t dripping but I could see where the oil was applied. It’s not a problem but has the potential to be messy should you lay it on a table cloth.
Overall the tools really seem like a great deal once I received them. For the money you get 10 tools. I looked at just ordering the 3 pieces I thought I would really need and the total was about what I paid for all 10 pieces! Great value, I would have liked to see some angle tweezers in the pack but I’ll get those elsewhere. Everything else I am very happy with and look forward to really being able to use them.
I started this hobby last year and didn’t want to spend $200+ on a nice set of tools until I had more experience (and some success!). These tools are inexpensive and work great. I am careful to clean them and give them a touch of oil after every use, and so far no rust problems. I may not upgrade for a long time.
