{"product_id":"edge-series-trunk-splitter-manganese-infused-stainless-steel","title":"Edge Series Trunk Splitter — Manganese-Infused Stainless Steel","description":"\u003cp class=\"pd-hook\"\u003eSplitting a trunk to reduce its diameter or open a hollow is a controlled fracture, not a cut — and a tool that flexes under that load will wander off your line. The Edge Series trunk splitter is forged from manganese-infused stainless steel, dense enough to drive straight through hardwood without the jaw deforming.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTrunk splitting puts more stress on a tool than any other bonsai operation: you are wedging apart living wood, often against the grain, with your full body weight behind it. The added density of manganese-infused stainless holds the tip geometry through that, so the split follows the line you set rather than tearing sideways into tissue you meant to keep. Clean splits heal; torn ones scar for years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pd-cols\"\u003e\n  \u003cdiv\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"pd-col-title\"\u003eFeatures\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cul\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003eManganese-infused stainless steel for a denser, harder working edge\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003eTip geometry holds under heavy wedging loads without deforming\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003eMachined and hand-balanced to the same spec as the rest of the Edge Series\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003eCorrosion-resistant stainless — no oiling routine required\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003ePriced in line with the Edge Series cutters at $55\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003c\/ul\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003cdiv\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"pd-col-title\"\u003ePerfect For\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cul\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003eTrunk reduction and taper work on collected or field-grown material\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003eOpening hollows and shari on deadwood features\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003eAdvanced growers doing heavy structural work\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003eCompleting an Edge Series bench alongside the concave, knob, and root cutters\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003c\/ul\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44090224967798,"sku":"EDGE-SPLIT-001","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0681\/6491\/1222\/files\/4D4A5483_348aa499-3460-4ffb-b05b-9109177be8c6.png?v=1788135085","url":"https:\/\/bonsaiden.com\/products\/edge-series-trunk-splitter-manganese-infused-stainless-steel","provider":"Bonsai Den ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
