Where to find a bark stripper?

Hi everyone, I've been looking for a bonsai bark stripper (curved blade, strips bark on the pull) for awhile now and can only find it on kaizenbonsai.com. Looked on ebay and amazon and did searches on google. Can anybody give me a link to a site that sells them from the U.S?

Graham at Kaizen ships to the US... and he is very reliable too

Tony

Agree 100% with Tony.

Yeah, a good guy to buy from. Bought several pots from him, he ships it fast, and very well packaged. Pots were very nice too.

I've got a great stripper; she lives next door but Idont know if she does bark or not? I think Graham knows her as well. Sorry couldn't help it. Regards john

Me too.

What on earth is a bark stripper and what can it do that a pliers and a knife can't?

Sounds to me like just another way to pay more than you should for a tool with the word "bonsai" in front of it.

Jim. This tool was originally designed for the removal of Apple Canker. They are very cheap and very good at removing bark SAFELY.

Can someone show me a picture?

We will have to ask permission of the moderator. I'm pretty sure thay won't let us post pictures of strippers in the forum!

Man!!!!! You guys "NEED" help.

Here's the Kaizen stripper http://www.kaizenbonsai.com/shop/popup_image.php?pID=1291 (For some weird reason it resizes my browser window.) Basically a curved scraper/chisel.

Kev, you are truly a great moderator. The time and effort you put into the IBC, is truly astounding and on top of that, you are prepared to give MORE of your valuable time in vetting and researching, for the forum. Such a selfless man....Brings a goddamn tear to me eye!! ........
