Product description

Limited edition secateurs in a slightly smaller size, for slighter hands and lighter jobs: perfect for flowers and dead-heading. Forged from S58C carbon steel, a premium, hard-wearing steel that retains its edge well and sharpens easily.

The handles have been wrapped with Wisteria rattan that not only looks amazing but also provides a natural, textured grip that feels great in the hand.

Limited production batches - so lead time can be lengthy - and they arrived nestled in a Kiribako Paulownia wood box (yes - the one with the big leaves!) making them a most excellent gift.

As a natural material, rattan should be treated a little more carefully than our regular secateurs: not bashed about, not left out in the rain overnight (not a good idea, for any tools, incidentally…) and generally craed for. In particular, don’t fold the secateur lock catch inside the handle, or use with it half out, as this can wear and snag the rattan.

Most of our sharp tools are made from carbon steel - this means they may, through regular use, stain (and eventually rust) and gradually lose their edge. Caring for them involves three things…

1. Correct Use:

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

2. Keeping Them Clean:

  • Remove leaf resin, rust and gunk with a Clean Mate and water
  • Dry, wipe over with Camellia oil and store in a dry place

3. Keeping Them Sharp:

New tools won’t need sharpening for some time, but after a while you’ll notice them gradually lose their edge, especially if you’re box clipping (you need REALLY sharp blades to get a good finish with box). Use the Niwaki Sharpening Stones for best results (#1000 grit is best for general sharpening).

  • Sharpen Secateurs every couple of weeks
  • Sharpen Shears and Topiary Clippers EVERY TIME you use them - the difference is amazing
