Garden Niwaki | Niwaki Rattan S-Type Clippers

Limited Edition Garden Clippers For Snipping, Clipping And Light Pruning. Hand Lashed By Craftsmen In Sanjo, In The North Of Japan, With A Single Unbroken Length Of Wisteria Tendril Rattan, They Have A Lovely Warm Quality That Compliments The Hard Wearing Ka70 Carbon Steel. The 3″ Blades Are Shorter Than Topiary Clippers, But Longer, And With A Bit More Clout Than Regular Snips, Making Them Ideal As All-Round Garden Shears. They Come Served Up In A Kiribako Paulownia Wood Box (Yes – The One With The Big Leaves!) And Make A Most Excellent Gift.

As A Natural Material, Rattan Should Be Treated A Step More Carefully Than Our Regular Tool Handles – Not Bashed About, Not Left Out In The Rain Overnight (Not A Good Idea, For Any Tools, Incidentally…) And Generally Looked After. In Particular, Don’T Fold The Lock Catch Inside The Handle, As This Can Wear The Rattan.
