Niwaki's Higurashi Secateurs are made from drop-forged carbon steel, perfect for garden pruning, house plants and flowers. Lovely refined action, works just as well for woodier stems in flower arrangements. The chunky catch and slightly textured handles, along with the hard wearing carbon steel blade make these perfect for all day use.

Through time and regular use, carbon steel will stain (and eventually rust) and gradually lose its edge. Caring for them involves a few things:

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, hard wood (even bamboo) or other hard materials like stone.

Cut diagonally across branches and do not twist or apply uneven pressure.

Pay attention to the maximum cut dimensions. Use the base of the blades, not the tips, for heavier cuts.

Niwaki brings the very best in Japanese design and craftsmanship, inspiring gardeners and craftsmen to do the stuff they love, even better. They source and manufacture an extraordinary range of fine garden and woodworking tools, kitchen knives and outdoor gear.

Niwaki means garden tree. Not very exciting, but it implies far more than that. Japanese gardens are landscapes, microcosms of nature, and the trees are all shaped to fit into those landscapes — there’s an awful lot of artistry and cultural baggage in there too. Jake’s written a book on it all, if you’re interested. So, the name. Hard to pronounce (ni-whacky) and tricky to remember, but we like it because of its implications.

Almost everything in Niwaki's range is stuff they use themselves. Jake’s — founder of Niwaki — first day of pine pruning in Osaka, he was given a pair of garden scissors, still sharp as anything, more than a decade later. Brother-in-law Haruyasu bought Jake his first pair of Japanese shears, and he’s rarely used anything else since. His wife Keiko uses her garden scissors in the house, for cutting flowers (she never cleans them, they go rusty, and Jake has to revive them, but they’re still working.) Grandpa reaches for his trusty pruning saw when he wanders off to reap havoc in the woodland… It’s all good stuff, and their proud of it.
