Niwaki Mainichi Secateurs

The Mainichi Secateurs feature a bypass cutting action, which works like a pair of scissors. This is ideal for making clean, precise cuts on live, green stems without crushing the plant tissue.

These are designed for routine, everyday garden tasks rather than heavy-duty work. They have a maximum cutting capacity of 10mm, so they are best suited for deadheading, pruning flowers, and trimming smaller stems.

Because they are made from SK85 carbon steel, the blades are prone to rust if left wet. After each use, wipe them clean, apply a light coat of camellia oil, and sharpen them periodically with a whetstone to maintain their edge.

No, the locking mechanism is specifically designed to be easy to operate even when your hands are wet or you are wearing thick gardening gloves. It is secure, simple to engage, and reliable.

The high-visibility yellow grips are a practical design choice intended to make the tool easy to spot if you set it down in the garden or accidentally drop it in the compost pile.
