If the gardener in your life doesn’t have a pair of pruners, Niwaki’s Tokusen Secateur Set makes a thoughtful gift. Combining functionality and elegance, this trio of finely crafted Japanese hand-pruners includes:
- Tokusen 165mm: a smaller pair that fits perfectly in the palm of your hand. Perfect for light garden pruning, deadheading and cut flowers. Although smaller than the full size Tokusen 210mm, it’s not just for small hands!
- Tokusen 210mm: powerful and beautiful with a punchy spring and coil cushioning for heavy and more demanding pruning.
- Tokusen Barracudas: for all gardening requirements. Longer blades than regular secateurs, but with a chunky bypass blade for woodier pruning. Ideal for everyday woody cuts.
Expertly hand-forged in Japanese S58C Carbon Steel by master craftsman Yamakawa San, these secateurs are easy to sharpen to a keen edge, ensuring precise cuts every time. The cherry on top? They come wrapped in hand-dyed tenugui cotton and presented in a beautiful Paulownia gift box.
Although Japanese carbon steel is durable, it can chip if mishandled, so use with care.
