Meet the Daikiba Secateurs by Niwaki, solid, no-nonsense cutters built for getting stuck in.
Named after the Japanese for “big tusk”, these are the dependable workhorses of the secateur world. You won’t find delicate curves or dainty detailing here. Instead, you get reassuring weight in the hand, a generous, chunky bypass and blades that mean business. They’re made for the jobs that need a bit of backbone like tougher stems and woody growth.
The tapered, slightly elongated blade gives you welcome accuracy when you need it, while the substantial bypass delivers the power. That balance makes them surprisingly versatile and just as capable on green, sappy growth as they are on firmer, woodier cuts.
Overall size: 205mm x 58mm x 22mm
Blade length: 60mm
Max cut: Ø15mm
Steel: SLD Carbon Steel
Includes: Canvas Holster
Drop forged from SLD semi-stainless steel, the blades hold their edge well and sharpen up beautifully. They’re also more forgiving than high-carbon steel and resistant to rust unless truly neglected, making them a lower-maintenance option for busy gardeners (or those who occasionally forget to tidy-up).
They arrive without unnecessary packaging, but with a sturdy canvas holster to keep them protected and close to hand.
Best usage
From trimming thick stems and established shrubs to slicing open compost bags and snipping garden twine, the Daikiba are ready for most everyday tasks in the garden.
- Maximum cutting capacity: up to 15mm (depending on plant type)
- Use the base of the blades for heavier cuts
- Always cut diagonally across the branch
- Avoid twisting or uneven pressure
After use, give them a quick clean, dry thoroughly and apply a light coat of oil before storing in the canvas holster.
