Product description
The motion
Cleanly snip flowers, thin branches, or herbs with a precise, rather than forced, movement.
Why it is different
Forged from steel by the Ōkubo workshop, using tempering and sharpening techniques that date back to sword smiths. Its compact shape allows for an intuitive grip.
Why this pruner rather than an industrial model
Japanese gardeners use it not only for plant maintenance, but also for practicing niwaki, the art of pruning that reveals the natural beauty of each tree—a use that requires a simple and reliable tool rather than a sophisticated one.
Why I chose it
"I chose this model because it perfectly embodies the idea of a tool that you can keep for years. Its shape is simple, almost timeless, and seems entirely dictated by the movement itself. I particularly love this category of objects: those you don't necessarily notice in a first catalog, but that you truly appreciate after having used them."
You will like it if
- you are looking for a garden tool that you will keep for years rather than a disposable model
- you regularly prune flowers, thin branches, or herbs
- you appreciate a piece that is both functional and understated in its form
It is probably not for you if
- you are looking for a pruner for thick branches
- you want a tool guaranteed to stay like new without maintenance (this one requires regular sharpening and drying)
In practice
Forged steel, length approximately 18 cm. Wipe dry after each use, store in a dry place, and sharpen regularly to maintain its edge.
An object designed to last
Forged iron and regular maintenance (sharpening, drying) allow this pruner to last through decades of use, developing a patina over time.
