Garden Niwaki | Niwaki Tokusen Set

When You Go On The Hunt For Great Stuff In The Mountains Of Yamagata, You Either Come Home Laden With Fruit – Delicious, Perfectly Formed Cherries In Particular – Or Secateurs.

We Chose Secateurs, And Here They Are: All Three Of The Tokusen Range, Wrapped In Hand Dyed Tenugui Cotton, Within A Paulownia Gift Box. The Set Comprises

Tokusen 165Mm: Exquisitely Finished Pair Of Smaller Secateurs That Fit Beautifully In The Palm Of The Hand. Although Not As Substantial As Their Full-Sized Siblings, They’Re Perfect For Light Garden Pruning, Deadheading And Cut Flowers. Not Just For Small Hands Either – The Hand Forged Blade, Solid Build And Ergonomics More Than Make Up For Their Diminutive Size. Rather Like A Derringer, Can Get You Out Of All Sorts Of Scrapes.

Tokusen 210Mm: These Are Really Rather Special – Very Beautiful, Powerful Secateurs Hand Forged In Yamagata, With A Punchy Spring And Coil Cushioning For Heavy And More Demanding Pruning. Less Suitable For Smaller Hands.

Tokusen Barracudas: Longer, More Slender Blades Than Regular Secateurs, But Still With The Chunky Bypass For Woody Pruning, These Hand Forged Pruners Cover A Wide Range Of Roles In The Garden, Falling Just Short Of Heavy Duty Pruning, But Easily Covering Most Day-To-Day Work. Exceptionally Well Made, And Beautifully Finished, Deep Within The Mountains Of Yamagata.

All Three Pairs Have Been Hand Forged In Japanese S58C Carbon Steel, Which Is Easy To Sharpen To A Very Keen Edge.

There’S Something Here For Pretty Much Everyone, Not That You’Ll Want To Share.
