Niwaki Topiary Shears

The Niwaki Topiary Shears • Short are elegant, finely balanced shears designed for precision work in the garden. Ideal for box clipping, topiary and other delicate shaping, they feature long, slender blades and refined handles that offer exceptional control for detailed cuts.

Forged from Aogami (Blue Paper) steel, the blades are renowned for their sharpness and edge retention, staying lethally sharp with minimal maintenance. True to traditional Japanese design, these shears embrace simplicity — just wood, steel and a few rivets -resulting in a beautifully tactile, purposeful tool.

Perfect for careful clipping rather than heavy hedge work, they’re a joy to use for gardeners who value precision, balance and craftsmanship.
