These are the secateurs that we use & recommend at Botany. Toyama Hamono are world-renowned Japanese master craftsmen, forging premium quality shears since 1861 in the famous blacksmithing town of Sanjo.

The method they use to create their tools is the same method applied to creating Japanese swords. They are hard-wearing, extremely long lasting and will maintain their sharp edge.

Toyama Hamono secateurs are made from a single piece of carbon steel which is renowned for its strength and durability. Each pair is meticulously adjusted and balanced for the perfect cut. The blackened colour of the handles is made using fire, without the need for any chemicals.

These snips are extremely comfortable in the hand with an ergonomic design that has been honed over many years. Amazing for daily use; they will not cause cramping in your hands and are well worth the investment - you will never need to buy another pair of snips again!
