Handmade Niwaki Rattan Secateurs (Limited Edition)

Japanese Masterpiece of Craftsmanship

Handmade in limited edition batches in Sanjo, Japan, these elegant secateurs are forged from S58C carbon steel — a premium, hard-wearing steel prized for its sharp edge and ease of maintenance. Every detail reflects generations of Japanese toolmaking tradition, designed for precision, balance, and longevity in the garden.

Beautiful Form Meets Practical Function

The handles are carefully wrapped with Wisteria rattan, giving each pair a unique character. This natural grip not only looks exquisite but also provides tactile comfort and control for extended use. Lightweight yet strong, the ergonomic design ensures effortless pruning, snipping, and shaping — even during long sessions.

Treasured Tools, Presented with Care

Each pair of secateurs arrives in a handmade Paulownia wooden box (Kiribako). In Japan, these boxes are traditionally used to protect art and cherished objects — the perfect home for a tool of this calibre. It’s more than packaging; it’s a sign of the artistry and respect invested in every piece.

Worth the Investment

• Limited Edition: Handmade in small batches — no two pairs are alike.
• Premium Materials: S58C carbon steel + rattan grip = durability and performance.
• Artisan Heritage: Forged by skilled craftspeople in Sanjo, a city renowned for its blades.
• Sustainable Choice: Built to last a lifetime with proper care.

This is not just a pair of secateurs — it’s a collector’s tool, a gardener’s heirloom, and a statement of appreciation for fine craft.

Care Instructions 

To preserve the beauty and performance of your Niwaki secateurs:

• Wipe clean after each use.
• Keep dry to protect the carbon steel and rattan wrap.
• Apply a light coat of camellia oil (or similar) to prevent rust.
• Store in the Paulownia box when not in use.
