Product description
Standard issue in Japan, where these are considered the every day, go-to choice for pruning. The big chunky catch at the bottom has a crisp action that’s easy to use, even with cold wet hands or muddy gloves, and the spring is well secured and never accidentally pops out. As with all Japanese secateurs, these have a simple direct action, resulting in a very clean, efficient cut.
Yellow grips stand out in the garden, and are great for when they end up in the compost heap. We’ve added one blue sleeve to the left handed version, to avoid mix-ups with your right-handed partner’s or colleague’s pair.
The Mainichi Small are 180mm long, with a 45mm blade, which is 10% smaller than the standard size. If you wear a size small Niwaki Gardening Glove you may find these more comfortable.
The standard size Mainichis are suitable for cuts of 10-15mm, depending on plant type and what you had for breakfast, whereas the smaller version hovers in the 8-10mm max cut zone. Remember: if it feels too tough, it probably is too tough, so use your intuition.
Best usage
- Clean with a Niwaki Clean Mate rust and sap eraser
- Sharpen with a Niwaki #1000 grit stone
- Protect with Niwaki Camellia Oil
