Niwaki Daikiba Secateurs
+ canvas holster

More Information

Rather like B.A. Baracus, our favourite character in the A-Team, these secateurs serve a purpose. You won’t get the style or charm of Face, certainly not the madcap wizardry of Murdock, and very little of Hannibal’s leadership skills, but their SLD steel blades and big, solid bypass make them a dependable bet for rough and tough jobs (nor should they be messed with by any crazy fools).

The substantial weight and feel is enhanced by the chunky bypass, which combined with the tapered, slightly elongated blade allows for both precise and powerful pruning - ideal for both woody and soft green cuts. The drop forged SLD (semi stainless) steel blades hold their edge, sharpen up well, and crucially, won’t rust unless completely neglected - meaning these are somewhat lower maintenance than our other secateurs, and perfect for those prone to lapses in discipline…

Daikiba Secateurs come without packaging, but instead with a Canvas Holster to keep them shinier than BA’s jewellery.

Caring For Your Tools

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 Crean 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).
