Niwaki Garden Sickle
Niwaki Garden Sickle
Single bevelled sickle for grasses and other plants in the garden.
The Yasugi White Paper steel blade is light and precise enough for some serious grass scything, but robust enough for a bit of you-know-what with the tougher stuff, brambles etc. Nothing woody though. Reassuring heeled handle in poplar wood.

Care & maintenance
We’re constantly finding new ways to become more sustainable, so we only select products that are built to last. We recommend that you use your weeding hoe correctly to extend its lifespan.
Use it correctly:
- Japanese steel is hard and sharp, and can be more brittle than some people are used to - it will chip if abused
- Do not cut wire, metal, stone, plastic or any other hard material (even bamboo fibres and some very hard woods, especially knots and burrs, can damage steel edges)
- Do not twist or apply uneven pressure
- Cut diagonally across branches (not straight across) so you cut along the fibres
- Pay attention to our maximum cut dimensions, and don’t overdo it (shears are not loppers)
- Use the base of the blades, not the tips, for heavier cuts
Keep it clean
- Remove leaf resin, rust and gunk with a Crean Mate and water
- Dry, wipe over with Camellia oil and store in a dry place

Garden tree
Niwaki means garden tree. Not very exciting, but it implies far more than that. Japanese gardens are landscapes, microcosms of nature, and the trees are all shaped to fit into those landscapes - there’s an awful lot of artistry and cultural heritage in there too. .
Quality assured
Gardening is held in high-esteem in Japan, and the quality and thoughtful design of Niwaki secateurs, pruning saws, digging tools, shears etc reflect this. You won't be dissapointed.
Used by professionals
There's a reason why Niwaki tools are used extensively in the professional sector. These quality tools are reliable, durable and easy to maintain and service. Used correctly and cared for, these tools will last for decades.
