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

Traditional round handles are easy to grab, comfy to hold, and allow for perfect sensitivity

Fab little garden scissors, absolutely brilliant for cut flowers, dead-heading and light pruning, as well as for pottering about aimlessly looking for something to snip.

Sharp, precise blades make for satisfying, clean cuts on softer green stems, as well as being beefy enough to cut through woodier stems up to around pencil thickness.

The traditional round handles are easy to grab, comfy to hold, and allow for the perfect sensitivity of delicate and accurate cuts, combined with great grip for more substantial stuff. They’re fairly small, perfect for smaller hands and jobs in the garden and the home.

Always be ready to snip by keeping your Sentei Scissors at hand with the Niwaki Canvas Garden Scissors Holster.

Clean. Oil. Snip

Elevate your garden game: maintain like a master

Maintaining Niwaki tools is simple with the right care. After use, clean blades with Clean Mate, keep them lubricated with Camellia oil, and periodically sharpen using Niwaki sharpening stones. This routine ensures your shears, saws, and pruners stay precise, durable, and ready for effortless garden work season after season.

The perfect partner

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.
