30+ year old #bonsai tools. Cared for, oiled, and still working great. Bonus points if you can identify the brand of the old pub towel shown that I use as my oil rag.

Ooooh post some pics, have always wanted to get into this one day.

That's a sweet looking kit! I have some cheapo stuff from Amazon as this first plan decides to live or die

I bought all of this cheap back in UK, but the quality is superb. All Japanese made. I brought them with me to the states and only recently started again. The trees I left behind in UK would make you cry (it did me). Years of care and nurturing.

You can't beat old tools🔥

Especially if they’ve been well maintained. Kinda sexy.

And they are often such good quality they can be successfully restored.

Would love to see some of your trees.
