A good pair of snips is one of those quiet essentials, the sort you slip into a pocket and forget about, until you spot a flower or stem that needs cutting. These garden snips by Niwaki are crafted in a long-established, family-run factory in Sanjo, Japan and are just the thing.
Lightweight, precise and reassuringly sharp, they’re made for those unplanned moments in the garden, immediate deadheading, harvesting herbs for supper or cutting flowers on the go.
The slender blades taper neatly to a fine point, letting you get right in amongst the stems and foliage for careful, accurate cuts.
Overall size: 183mm (L) × 44mm (W) × 16mm (H)

Steel: SK-85 steel

They’re designed for green growth only – softer stems, flowers, fruit and veg – and not for woody pruning (leave that to your secateurs). Treat them kindly and they’ll reward you with beautifully clean cuts every time.
Best usage
- Ideal for flowers, herbs, fruit and vegetable harvesting
- For green, sappy growth only – not woody stems
- Keep clean and dry after use
Wipe down with a clean cloth (a dedicated tool cloth is best, though an old washing-up sponge will do at a pinch)
