The Niwaki Mini Secateurs are perfect for flower arranging, greenhouse tasks and ‘back pocket’ jobs. They may be small but they pack a big punch! Hand-forged in Japan, these secateurs are great to have on hand.
Their leather handle wrapping will age nicely, and gives them a aesthetically pleasing finish.

Usage:
- Japanese steel is hard and sharp. To avoid chips and preserve the steel edge, do not cut wire, metal, stone, or plastic.
- Do not twist or apply uneven pressure
- It’s better to cut diagonally across branches (not straight across), so you cut along the fibres
- For heavier cuts, make sure you’re using the base of the blades (not the tips)
How to get the most out of these pruners:
- Clean with a Clean Mate, Rust Eraser and sap eraser
- Sharpen with a #1000 grit stone
- Protect with Camelia Oil
- Watch out with these as Japanese steel gets better and sharper so they get more brittle
