Japanese Shumatsu Secateurs, Aluminium Handled

A pair of aluminium handled secateurs, dimpled for extra grip, primed for everyday garden use and houseplant care. ‘Shumatsu’ translates to weekend in Japanese, the perfect time to undertake the small tasks in the garden that these were designed for. Being carbon steel, these should be cleaned and dried after use and oiled regularly. Relatively lightweight at 180g, with a maximum cutting diameter of 10mm; cut with the base of the blades, not the tips and do not twist. 204 x 47 x 22mm with 55mm blades.
