Product description
Longer, more slender blades than regular secateurs, but still with the chunky bypass for woody pruning, these hand forged pruners cover a wide range of roles in the garden, falling just short of heavy duty pruning, but easily covering most day-to-day work. Exceptionally well made, and beautifully finished, deep within the mountains of Yamagata.
Wrapped in hand-dyed, rugosa-red tenugui cloth, within a Paulownia box. Also available as one third of the Tokusen Set.
Why barracuda? If you’d seen the fish, you wouldn’t need to ask.
Best usage
- Clean with a Niwaki Clean Mate rust and sap eraser
- Sharpen with a Niwaki #1000 grit stone
- Protect with Niwaki Camellia Oil
