The character and style of forged Japanese secateurs. Great value drop-forged carbon steel secateurs, with a nice soft spring action and the simple lock catch at the bottom - learn to open the catch with your little finger. An excellent introduction to the world of Japanese secateurs. Perfect for light garden pruning. Made in Sanjo, Japan. Max cut Ø5mm. Includes spare spring. Cut diagonally across branches (not straight across) so you cut along the fibres. Remove leaf resin, rust and gunk with a Crean Mate and water. Dry, wipe over with Camellia oil and store in a dry place. Warning: Do not cut wire, metal, stone, plastic or any other hard material. Do not twist or apply uneven pressure. 55mm blades.
