Care Instructions
-Do not cut hard objects such as wire and dried flowers with these scissors. These floral scissors and secateurs are specifically designed to cut raw branches and stems and the blades are finely adjusted for this purpose.
-Do not sharpen the back of the blades if you are not familiar with Japanese shears (concave).
– To maintain the sharpness and if you are not using them for a while, say 6 months, we recommend you apply a drop of Japanese camellia seed oil around the rivet. Open and close a few times and wipe off any excess oil.

“I received a gift of a pair of walnut handle inlay secateurs and recommend them to all my friends. After years of regularly replacing jammed or blunt secateurs, these are amazing – sharp and ergonomic, they make pruning a treat instead of a RSI-inducing chore.”
Martin Dyson –
The secateurs arrived this morning, and yes, they certainly are beautifully made in Japan. I used them on my lemon tree, and they certainly are the best ones I’ve ever used cuts super clean, super sharp and very comfortable to use in my hand, I certainly will be taking special care of these secateurs and remembering what not to cut, cleaning them each time and oiling them as in the instructions you sent me and from your site. Thank you very much for sending them to me.
