Know before you buy
This set is designed for precision work. The standard pruners handle general maintenance, the refined snips are ideal for deadheading and delicate stems, and the mini pruners are perfect for tight spaces or intricate bonsai-style trimming.
Carbon steel is highly durable but susceptible to moisture. After each use, wipe the blades clean and dry them thoroughly; applying a light coat of camellia oil will help protect the metal from oxidation and maintain a smooth cutting action.
Yes, the walnut handles are ergonomically shaped to fit naturally in the hand. While they offer a more tactile, premium feel than plastic or rubber grips, they remain lightweight and balanced for long sessions in the garden.
The tenugui is a traditional Japanese cotton cloth used to protect your tools from dust and moisture when stored. It also prevents the blades from knocking against each other, helping to keep them sharp and in good condition.
To preserve the integrity of the walnut wood and carbon steel, store the tools in a dry environment away from direct humidity. The provided Paulownia gift box is excellent for long-term storage, as the wood is naturally moisture-resistant.
