Japanese CRI-360SFBK Garden Scissors

Japanese garden scissors for precise trimming

The Chikamasa CRI-360SFBK are a beautifully considered pair of Japanese scissors for anyone who values precision in their cutting work. At just 60g, they are light enough for extended use without fatigue, yet sharp and capable enough to satisfy the most demanding florist, gardener, or bonsai enthusiast. Semi-curved blades, a fluorine coating and a built-in wire-cutting notch make these scissors as versatile as they are precise.

High-quality Japanese steel with fluorine coating

The blades are made from high-quality Japanese stainless steel and finished with a fluorine coating that prevents sap, adhesive and residue from building up on the cutting surface. The result is a blade that stays cleaner for longer, cuts more smoothly through wet and dry material and requires less maintenance between uses. The semi-curved blade profile gives enhanced control for delicate trimming work where a straight blade would be too blunt.

For Australian gardeners, the fluorine coating is particularly valuable in the native garden, where sticky resins from plants can quickly foul an uncoated blade. These scissors stay clean and sharp through the kind of work that would compromise a lesser tool.

Versatile by design

A built-in wire-cutting notch adds genuine versatility to these scissors, making them equally at home in the cutting garden and the floral studio. The ergonomic PVC grip with PP cap provides a secure, comfortable hold through long trimming sessions, and at 160mm total length the scissors are compact enough for precise, detailed work without sacrificing reach.
