They have all the legendary snap of Niwaki’s topiary clippers, but with a curve designed specifically for the organic, rolling contours of your cloud-pruned masterpieces and wavy hedges. If you’re serious about your box balls or smaller-scale yew clipping, these are your new best friend. (A word of warning: if you’re looking to trim a straight hedge, look elsewhere—these are strictly for the curves.)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHandmade in a small, family-run factory in Yamagata, Japan, each pair is a unique piece of S58C steel craftsmanship. Because they’re hand-forged, the curvature of the blade may differ slightly from pair to pair—a quirk we celebrate as the mark of the maker. They arrive in a hard-wearing canvas pouch with a spare spring, ready for a lifetime of devotion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded:\u003c\/strong\u003e A sturdy cotton pouch and a spare spring (for the long haul).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Ritual (Usage)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJapanese steel is incredibly hard and frighteningly sharp, but it requires a bit of \"insider\" knowledge to keep it that way.
