Description
Need precision? Look no further than Niwaki’s Mini Shears. Skillfully hand-crafted in Japan using time-honored techniques, these lightweight and compact shears are small enough to be carried around in a bucket or garden bag, and the ideal tool for trimming lavender hedges, maintaining grass edges, or tackling small-scale topiary projects. The ergonomic oak handles come with comfy red rubber grips for added comfort, while the hand-forged carbon steel blades deliver strength and durability. Designed for long-lasting use, they make a thoughtful gift for the gardening enthusiast in your life.
Although Japanese carbon steel is durable, it can chip if mishandled, so use with care.

Niwaki Use + Care Instructions
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
Do not twist or apply uneven pressure
Cut diagonally across branches (not straight across) so you cut along the fibres
Use the base of the blades, not the tips, for heavier cuts
Keeping Them Clean:
Remove leaf resin, rust and gunk with water and a rough cloth
Dry, wipe over with oil and store in a dry place
Keeping Them Sharp:
New tools won’t need sharpening for some time, but after a while you’ll notice them gradually lose their edge. Use our Niwaki Maintenance Kit for best results (#1000 grit is best for general sharpening).
Sharpen Secateurs every couple of weeks
Sharpen Shears every time you use them – the difference is amazing
To keep the blades in good condition, clean regularly and sharpen every few weeks using Niwaki’s Maintenance Kit.
