Niwaki - Mainichi Secateurs

Standard issue in Japan, where these are considered the every day, go-to choice for pruning.

 The chunky catch at the bottom provides a crisp and easy-to-use action, even with cold or wet hands. Plus, the secure spring ensures no accidental pops. With a simple direct action, you'll achieve clean and efficient cuts every time.  

Do not cut wire, metal, stone, plastic or any other hard material (even bamboo fibres and some very hard woods, especially knots and burrs, can damage steel edges)

Japanese steel is hard and sharp, and can be more brittle than some people are used to - it will chip if abused

Do not twist or apply uneven pressure

Cut diagonally across branches (not straight across) so you cut along the fibres

Pay attention to our maximum cut dimensions, and don’t overdo it (shears are not loppers)

Use the base of the blades, not the tips, for heavier cuts

Niwaki was born from a fascination and admiration for Japanese design and functionality. From one man's visit to Japan in the 90's sprang a desire to learn more about the beautiful gardens and trees and how they are cared for. After meeting his wife and many visits later his brother in law sent a few tools over from Japan for his own use. After much admiration from fellow gardeners and landscapers a business was born!
