These Ken-Katabami bypass secateurs are designed for performance and a hard and long working life. Their ergonomic design ensures that even with their sharp blades, they offer increased control and comfort. These scissors are safe to use, and users with larger hands can work for long periods without discomfort or strain.
Efficient and Comfortable Work Japan’s deep-rooted history of gardening has led to the creation of tools specifically tailored for efficiency and comfort - these are no exception.
Crafted with Precision These scissors are the result of a collaboration between two of Japan's top garden tool manufacturing regions: Miki, Hyogo, and Sanjo, Niigata. Crafted from S55C steel, a high-strength alloy known for its durability and resistance to wear, the scissors are designed to last. Handmade by skilled artisans at a reputable scissor manufacturer in Sanjo, Niigata, which has been in operation since 1939, each pair is carefully crafted to maintain sharpness and exceptional quality over time.

Usage:
- Japanese steel is hard and sharp. To avoid chips and preserve the steel edge, do not cut wire, metal, stone, or plastic.
