Japanese Mini Secateurs
£90.00
Ex Tax: £75.00
Small but perfectly formed, these forged carbon steel secateurs with leatherette handles are the perfect partner for flower arranging and collecting, greenhouse work, and for all those on the spot light pruning jobs when their pocket size keeps them handy when one doesn't want to carry or require larger more substantial tools. With comfortable leather grips and 40mm Hitachi SK steel blades, these will cut a maximum diameter stem of 5mm. It's worth bearing in mind these are carbon steel so can stain and rust so should be kept dry when not in use, and like many Japanese tools are hardened beyond what we might be used to in the UK. Whilst this does allow for an exceptional edge and longevity of sharpness they might be more brittle than some people are used to and will chip if abused, so please bear in mind the recommended diameter and never overly face the cut or use them on harder materials such as wire, plastics, or across knots or especially dry and harder woods and bamboos. Just under 14.5cm overall length.
Care Advice
Wipe thoroughly after use to remove any plant residue or sap, and follow with a light coating of oil to protect from rust. Store in a dry environment. Sharpen with a curved secateur stone, if the blade edges are concave.
Avoid getting leather soaking wet, when it is time to clean it a lukewarm damp cloth will do. If the leather has been soaked it should not be dried with a hairdryer or furnace, but rather dried slowly in a warm location. Oil with a leather conditioner to soften the leather every so often, as failing to do so could lead to cracks or tears. Apply a small amount to a cloth and rub into the leather, covering the whole surface. Use friction to heat the leather, allowing the conditioner to soak in, and leave for 30 minutes. Using a clean cloth, wipe away any excess
