Mini Shears
Description
Need precision? Look no further than Niwaki’s Mini Shears. Skillfully hand-crafted in Japan using time-honored techniques, these lightweight and compact shears are small enough to be carried around in a bucket or garden bag, and the ideal tool for trimming lavender hedges, maintaining grass edges, or tackling small-scale topiary projects. The ergonomic oak handles come with comfy red rubber grips for added comfort, while the hand-forged carbon steel blades deliver strength and durability. Designed for long-lasting use, they make a thoughtful gift for the gardening enthusiast in your life.
Although Japanese carbon steel is durable, it can chip if mishandled, so use with care.

Niwaki Use + Care Instructions
Correct Use:
- 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
- Do not twist or apply uneven pressure
- Cut diagonally across branches (not straight across) so you cut along the fibres
- Use the base of the blades, not the tips, for heavier cuts
Keeping Them Clean:
- Remove leaf resin, rust and gunk with water and a rough cloth
- Dry, wipe over with oil and store in a dry place
Keeping Them Sharp:
New tools won’t need sharpening for some time, but after a while you’ll notice them gradually lose their edge. Use our Niwaki Maintenance Kit for best results (#1000 grit is best for general sharpening).
- Sharpen Secateurs every couple of weeks
- Sharpen Shears every time you use them - the difference is amazing
