Higurashi Snips
Description
For precise and delicate pruning tasks, choose the Higurashi Snips by Niwaki. Handcrafted in Japan from the finest drop-forged carbon steel, they excel at cutting flowers, tending houseplants, shaping bonsai, and more with slender blades that effortlessly maneuver tight spots without causing damage. Keep them in optimal condition by always cutting diagonally across branches and use the base instead of the tips for heavier cuts (up to Ø3mm).
Although Japanese carbon steel is durable, it can chip if mishandled, so use with care.

Niwaki Use + Care Instructions
Correct Use:
- Japanese steel is hard and sharp, and can be more brittle than some people are used to - it will chip if abused
- Do not cut wire, metal, stone, plastic or any other hard material
- Do not twist or apply uneven pressure
- Cut diagonally across branches (not straight across) so you cut along the fibres
- Use the base of the blades, not the tips, for heavier cuts
Keeping Them Clean:
- Remove leaf resin, rust and gunk with water and a rough cloth
- Dry, wipe over with oil and store in a dry place
Keeping Them Sharp:
New tools won’t need sharpening for some time, but after a while you’ll notice them gradually lose their edge. Use our Niwaki Maintenance Kit for best results (#1000 grit is best for general sharpening).
- Sharpen Secateurs every couple of weeks
- Sharpen Shears every time you use them - the difference is amazing
