Collection: Garden Tools

Niwaki, a Japanese garden tool company by way of the UK, brings us their garden snips. Keep these safely in your pocket while making your watering rounds, so you’re always prepared for those unplanned pruning moments. Slender blades give you pinpoint accuracy for careful snipping, but should be kept to green growth only. This tool features 2 inch carbon steel blades and a nylon webbing strap to keep snips safely closed. Our advice for longevity - keep your tool clean and sharp with Niwaki camelia oil and sharpening stone. Size: 50mm blades Material: SK85 Carbon steel. Nylon webbing strap.

Standard issue in Japan, where these are considered the every day, go-to choice for pruning. The big chunky catch at the bottom has a crisp action that’s easy to use, even with cold wet hands or muddy gloves, and the spring is well secured and never accidentally pops out. As with all Japanese secateurs, these have a simple direct action, resulting in a very clean, efficient cut. Yellow grips stand out the garden, and are great for when they end up in the compost heap. Suitable for cuts of 10 -15mm, depending on plant type. Our advice for longevity - keep your tool clean and sharp with Niwaki camelia oil and sharpening stone. Size: 200mm blades Material: Carbon steel

Traditional Japanese set folding pocket knife made by Kanekoma with a hand forged 3" folded SK steel blade. The black nickel handle starts off shiny but soon mellows to a lovely rich patina. Quite a stiff action that loosens with time, and can be retightened with a sharp rap on the rivet with a hammer. Our advice for longevity - keep your tool clean and sharp with Niwaki camelia oil and sharpening stone. Size: 171 x 5 x 18mm, 109mm folded length, 70mm blades. Material: Made in Miki, Japan.

Oil from the seeds of Camellia oleifera (same family as Camellia and tea) is the traditional Japanese choice for protecting tools from rust: use it when cleaning, and as a regular protective coating. Leaves a lovely deep, non-oily finish, and it's odourless and tasteless (also handy for kitchen knives.) Cold pressed Camellia seeds blended with white mineral oil. Not for human consumption. Size: 100ml Material: Oil from the seeds of Camellia oleifera

Small but classy Japanese hand broom for all your domestic chores! This little brush is made from the palm fibres of Trachycarpus fortunei, bound together with copper wire.

The angled profile allows for broader sweeps as well as more careful, shorter ones. Size: 7"/17cm Material: Natural palm fibres.

Fantastic sharpening stones specially designed for Secateurs, but also great for Shears, Topiary Clippers and any other sharp blades. The concave edge follows the curve of the blade perfectly, and they're small enough to get into tight spots. Size: 3" x 1" x .5" Material: Brown #1000 grit: fine, for regular sharpening.

Think of these as the kitchen equivalent of the famous neutral-nation-military-device. ‘Mainichi’ means everyday, which is an accurate estimate of how often you’ll find cause to use them. Besides the obvious scissor function (aided and abetted by very finely serrated stainless steel blades), they come equipped with a bottle opener, a nutcracker and a lid opener (suitable for the Golden Syrup/paint type of tin). Oh, and they’re yellow, which will help you find them amidst the chaos of the secondary cutlery drawer. Our advice for longevity - keep your tool clean and sharp with Niwaki camelia oil and sharpening stone. Size: 124g, 216 x 90 x 10mm. 65mm blades Material: Stainless Steel. Plastic handles. Made in Japan.
