Carbon Steel Performance
Drop-forged from KA-70 carbon steel, these pruners take an excellent edge and hold it well. The soft, smooth spring action keeps hand fatigue low, making them comfortable to use for extended periods.

How to Use Them Well
Japanese carbon steel is hard and sharp, but that also means more brittle if misused. A little care goes a long way:
Don’t cut wire, metal, stone, plastic or any hard materials
Avoid bamboo fibres and very hard woods (knots and burrs in particular)
Don’t twist or lever while cutting
Cut diagonally along the fibres, not straight across
Respect the maximum cut diameter (Ø7mm)
Use the base of the blades for heavier cuts, not the tips
Treat them right and they’ll reward you with years of reliable, precise cutting.

Niwaki – Tools with Purpose
Niwaki grew from a deep admiration for Japanese gardens and the thoughtful, well-made tools used to care for them. What began with a few tools sent from Japan soon became a business built on quality, design and proper functionality.
