Description

Limited Edition Mini Secateurs for Precise Pruning

Hand forged in Sanjo, these 165 mm Toyama Hamono mini secateurs pair compact control with a limited gold plated finish. Sized for pockets and pouches, they excel at tip pruning, deadheading, and floristry. Ships from Perth for fast delivery across Australia.

Blades are forged carbon steel for sharp cuts and straightforward maintenance. The gold plated frame resists tarnish on non-cutting surfaces and adds visibility on the bench. A coil spring provides a light, quick action, while the safety catch secures the blades in carry. A fitted sheath protects the edge in storage. Despite their size, the grind supports clean cuts on soft to medium stems without bruising.

After use, wipe sap, dry, and oil lightly. For technique and upkeep see our secateur care guide. To compare other hand-forged options, explore Tobisho secateurs.

Tip: Use the front third of the blade for precise cuts and close with the wrist, not the fingers, to reduce fatigue.

Maintenance

Clean the blades after each use, removing sap and residue. Wipe dry and apply a thin coat of camellia oil to prevent rust. Sharpen periodically using a fine whetstone to maintain a clean cutting edge. Keep the coil spring lightly oiled and store the shears locked in their sheath when not in use. Avoid cutting hard or woody stems to preserve edge integrity.

What Sets Our Tools Apart

Pocketable Control

At 165 mm overall, these mini secateurs sit between floristry scissors and full-size pruners. The small format lets you work close to nodes and wire without bumping branches. The coil spring gives a light return and the safety catch keeps them secure in a pouch. Ideal for deadheading, tip pruning, and indoor plant care where precision counts.

Sanjo Hand Forged

Toyama Hamono forges the blades from carbon steel in Sanjo, then grinds and sharpens them for a clean, controlled bite. Carbon steel takes a keen edge and is simple to maintain. The riveted pivot is stable and serviceable, and the action remains smooth under daily use. The result is a compact tool that performs above its size.

Limited Gold Finish

This limited edition run adds a gold plated finish to the forged frame. The coating improves visibility on a busy bench and resists tarnish on non-cutting surfaces. A fitted sheath protects the edge and keeps the finish presentable. If you need larger or alternative patterns, compare hand forged options in our Tobisho Japanese Pruning Tools range.
