• Do not cut metal, stone, plastic or hard materials (even some woods and fibers like bamboo can damage the blade).

• Prefer cutting diagonally on the branches in order to follow the wood grain.

• Clean after each use with a suitable product (e.g., cleaning eraser) and water, then dry thoroughly.

• Sharpen regularly to maintain optimal sharpness.

The Niwaki spirit

In the late 1990s, while studying sculpture in London, Jake Hobson discovered the art of Niwaki (literally "garden tree") in Japan. Trained there, he developed a unique style blending Japanese tradition with European topiary. Convinced of the importance of the connection between gardener and tool, he collaborated with Japanese artisans to offer exceptional tools in Europe. Thus, Niwaki was born, now synonymous with quality and elegance.
