Handmade in limited edition batches in Sanjo, Japan, these elegant, functional Rattan Secateurs are forged from S58C carbon steel, a premium, hard-wearing steel that retains its edge well and sharpens easily. The design offers perfect ergonomics of grip and balance for long use. Handles are wrapped with Wisteria rattan that looks beautiful and provides a natural, textured grip that feels great in the hand. Niwaki Secateurs are presented in a handmade Paulownia box. Known in Japan as Kiribako, these simple wooden boxes are used to store art and treasured objects. Also available: Niwaki Rattan Snips.
