Niwaki Forged Snips – Heavier-Duty Japanese Snips for Detailed Pruning
The Niwaki Forged Snips are the more substantial big sibling of the Niwaki Garden Snips, made for more robust work. Forged from S58C carbon steel in a family-run factory in Sanjo, Japan, these Japanese pruning snips handle flowers, fruit and veg with ease, and will take on light woody cuts too.
They're not as tough as secateurs – not by a long shot – but they're fab for detailed pruning and thinning, deadheading, harvesting and Japanese pine pruning. Strong, precise and comfortable in the hand, Niwaki forged snips are a favourite with professional gardeners, florists and anyone who loves a well-made tool.

Best usage
Keep them clean. Precision blades like these soon pick up sap and resin, so wipe them off with a Clean Mate.
To stop the inner spring from springing off, hold the snips firmly in your hand as you open them.
