With the distinctive red handles comes a sturdier, weightier pair of snips than the standard Niwaki Garden Snips, made for jobs that ask a little more of you. Just the job for flowers, fruit, veg and lighter pruning. They’re not meant as a substitute for secateurs, but they’ll also take on light woody growth without complaint and are ideal for careful thinning, detailed pruning and traditional Japanese pine work. Like the the Niwaki snips and the Utility Scissors, these are made in a long-established family workshop in Sanjo, Japan. Proper tools, made properly. Look after them and they’ll serve you well. Fine blades soon gather sap and resin, so wipe them clean after use with a suitable blade cleaner such as Niwaki Crean Mate.
