Fab little garden scissors, absolutely brilliant for cutting flowers, dead-heading and light pruning, as well as for pottering about aimlessly looking for something to snip.
Sharp, precise blades make for satisfying, clean cuts on softer green stems, as well as being beefy enough to cut through woodier stems up to around pencil thickness.
The traditional round handles are easy to grab, comfy to hold, and allow for the perfect sensitivity of delicate and accurate cuts, combined with great grip for more substantial stuff. They’re fairly small, perfect for smaller hands and jobs in the garden and the home.
Use the tips for careful work and make bigger cuts further down the blades.
Hold these slightly differently to ‘normal’ scissors’ – your index finger should rest on the outer edge of the handle.
Approximately 6.5" long, 50mm blades
Care: 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 (even bamboo fibres and some very hard woods, especially knots and burrs, can damage steel edges). Remove leaf resin, rust and gunk with a Crean Mate and water. Dry, wipe over with Camellia oil and store in a dry place.
