Product description
Lovely, refined shears that are ideal for box clipping, topiary and other delicate jobs. Long blades and slender handles give great balance for detailed work, and the blue paper steel is - and stays - lethally sharp.
As with all Japanese shears, simplicity is the key: wood, steel, a few rivets. That’s it. Keep sharp with our Niwaki Stones. If you do a lot of clipping (not hacking) you’ll love the feel of these, but they are not recommended for hedge work.
Best usage
- Clean with a Niwaki Clean Mate rust and sap eraser
- Sharpen with a Niwaki #1000 grit stone
- Protect with Niwaki Camellia Oil
- When box clipping, dunk the blades in a weak mix of bleach or Jeyes fluid every so often to sterlise and keep them clean
